The music at Woodstock wasn't limited to the hours that bands and performers were on the stage. The party went on every hour of the day, all around the site. This was a time when a lot of music fans also played music themselves and brought their instruments along with them. If you were any good, you might find you could draw a crowd yourself!
This clarinet and drum combination certainly seem to have the people around them up and dancing, and it looks like there may be a few more instrumentalists just out of shot. Guitars were played around campfires everywhere you moved. Who knows what stars of the future were entertaining crowds of five or ten with songs that they only wrote an hour beforehand? People went to Woodstock to get lost in the music, and the music duly obliged.
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.
