Elvis wasn't just a huge pop star and lover of music. He also really loved guns and law enforcement. In this photo, he is being given an honorary police badge in Colorado. I'm not sure how much authority that gave him, but considering he was well known for using a gun to turn off TVs, I'm terrified. Elvis sounds like the last person I would want to arrest me. If he treated me anything like his TVs, I wouldn't make it to the station.
There are many interesting stories about Elvis' eccentricities. Some stories say that he would frequently bring a gun on airplanes. If anyone gave him trouble for having the gun, he would cause a stink. When you are as rich and powerful as Elvis was, you start to think that the rules don't apply to you.
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.
