Not every name on this list managed to make it all the way through university! Sometimes, you go into further education and find out that it's just not for you. Ben Stiller probably thought he was making the logical move when he signed on at the University of California. He enrolled as a film student, which, given his chosen career, makes a lot of sense. Despite that, he didn't even make it through a full year, and ended up going home and moving back in with his parents.
Stiller can see the funny side of his failed attempt at getting a degree, describing himself as a 'typical dropout', but his success tells us that sometimes it isn't always about picking up a certificate after a few years of hard study. For the exceptionally talented few, you can do it all on your own without the qualifications.
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.
