As we already know, Margaret Hamilton loved playing the Wicked Witch in the movie. She even returned to the role after being severely burnt due to a combination of an inept special effects team and flammable makeup. It was the role that made her career - but she'd played no roles like it beforehand, and there was nothing even vaguely unpleasant about her in real life.
Before accepting the part, Hamilton was struggling to make it as an actor, having to do teaching work on the side to make ends meet. She maintained a strong interest in education after she became famous, advocating for making reading material available to children and even returning to teaching Sunday school classes in the 1950s. She also served for a while on the Beverley Hills Board of Education. She even appeared in 'Mister Rogers Neighborhood' to show that the witch was just a character, and not something to be afraid of.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
