Pretty much any little girl who grew up in the '90s will be able to tell you how totally cool She-Ra was. She was kind of positioned as second best to her twin brother, He-Man, on television, but the girls knew the truth. She-Ra wouldn't have had as much appeal without her beautiful horse, Swift Wind, though. Swift Wind was the ultimate in loyal steeds.
If you were one of those totally obsessed little girls who just loved She-Ra, you might be in luck. If you happen to own an original of the She-Ra action figure, plus a Swift Wind action figure (they came as a set), it could be worth $4,000. Even if you don't have the set, the action figures on their own still fetch decent sums. You could get up to $600 for one.
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.
