Earlier on, we talked about how weird it would have been if Will Smith had played Keanu Reeves' iconic role in 'The Matrix.' Now, we have to imagine how strange it would have been if 'Friends' star David Schwimmer had taken Smith's part in 'Men in Black.' That was apparently the original plan, but Schwimmer wanted to take a short career break at the time the movie was filming.
The excuse never made sense, because Schwimmer carried on making 'Friends' during the break. Smith completely owned the part of 'Agent J,' and returned to it for two sequels. It could have been the key to Schwimmer crossing over from television to the movies, but he dropped the ball. Since then, his star power has been slowly dwindling, and he may now be doomed as being labeled 'Ross from Friends' for the rest of his life.
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.
