Brad Pitt's character is quite the smooth operator in "Ocean's Eleven". Good looking, sharply dressed, an eye for a great criminal scheme, and the ability to cope with Don Cheadle's awful attempt at a British accent. He's got a lot going on, but it seems he's also found the time to learn a little magic!
Watch this scene, where Danny Ocean is grabbing a quick glass of wine and a bite to eat in between dodging the authorities and planning heists. In one shot, he has a plate. In the next, it's a glass of wine, and in the next, we're back to the plate again! Either he learned the same trick Julia Roberts displayed earlier in "Pretty Woman", he's throwing crockery onto the floor when he's done with it, or neither he nor the director can remember which prop he had in his hand between takes.
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.
