'Rock of Ages' is a very popular movie, based on a very popular musical. The musical still tours all over the world to this day, often in large venues. That's despite the fact that the film version - which starred Tom Cruise as a jaded, egotistical rock star - split the crowd when it came to reviews. One of those who had unfavorable things to say about it was Alec Baldwin - which is a bit of an issue, as he was in the film as Dennis Dupree.
Baldwin went into the making of the movie with high hopes that it would be fun. A week into filming, he started to experience regret for ever signing the contract. It started off with a creeping suspicion that the end product was going to be, in his own words, a 'horrible movie.' By the time he was finished shooting, his opinion had deteriorated to the point where he simply called it 'a complete disaster.'
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.
