When the owner of this badly parked car returned to their vehicle and saw a blue ticket on it marked 'VIOLATION,' they probably assumed the worst. They likely already knew that their car was parked badly, and so they'd have prepared themselves to deal with the penalty notice they were about to receive. Fortunately for them, this ticket didn't come from a warden or an official; it came from an eloquent and heavily sarcastic member of the public.
We can't help but admire the vocabulary of the person who wrote this up. We imagine that they carry several of these tickets around with them at all times, always on the lookout for someone to hand them out to. The description of the amount of space they took up is probably a small exaggeration, but if all bad parkers got camel flea infestations in their armpits, they might start thinking twice about their behavior.
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.
