We all love a tale of bravery and heroism, especially when it's based on a true story. Very few films tick those boxes in the same way that "American Sniper" does, and Bradley Cooper's performance as former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is just phenomenal. This is a tale of real grit, real determination, real courage...and a fake baby.
The baby in this scene is, very obviously, a doll. There's not even been any attempt made to hide it. Apparently, the real life baby that was due to be in the scene was taken ill, and there was no time to find a replacement, so they had to improvise. We're not convinced. Surely in the time it takes to go to a shop and buy a toy doll, you could phone a few people and find a baby to borrow for a few minutes?
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.
