Those who remember the animated series, Street Sharks, that aired between 1994 and 1997 will definitely recall that it was a strange concept. These muscular, half-man, half-shark creatures would fight crime on the streets, despite looking pretty terrifying themselves. While the show was running, Mattel released a line of action figures, which were quite popular. They were no Ninja Turtles, but they definitely enjoyed moderate success with the kids.
The Street Sharks action figures aren't going to make you a millionaire, but they're still definitely worth selling if you've got a few lying around. Some can sell for up to $300, depending on how rare they are. Of course, if they're in their original packaging, you're more likely to get the best out of your old action figures. Start looking through your old toy box!
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.
