We were probably thinking the exact same thing as you: how the hell did George Clooney come to appear on South Park? It seems like such an odd fit, and if anything, the show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone make fun of people in Hollywood like Clooney. As it turns out, Clooney was an early adopter of South Park and spread the word about the show, helping it to become popular back in its beginning.
He first appeared on the show as Sparky, a gay dog who takes refuge at Big Gay Al's Big Gay Animal Sanctuary. A year after his debut role as Sparky, Clooney was back. This time as Dr. Doctor in the South Park film, South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. We wonder if he'll make another appearance in one of Parker and Stone's projects in the future.
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.
