46. Candles and Forks

46. Candles and Forks

Here we go with the two for one special. Not only do you get the candles, you also get the forks. It seems smart until you realize that age makes this work or not. If it's a one-year-old's birthday, then you only have one fork. That sucks. If it's an eighty seven year-old's birthday, you're going to have eighty seven forks. That's way too many forks. No eighty seven year old has that many friends. They're all gone.

Something needs to be done about birthday candles though, so I'm glad this at least makes an attempt at making the situation better. Candles drip wax all over the cake. Who wants to eat wax? And they never light well. On top of that you have people blowing out the candles, thus blowing their germs all over the cake. Gross! SAD!

Did You Know...

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.
