This was an ad for the Dodge car brand and Catalina Swimwear. The two companies teamed up for one ad, which is actually pretty brilliant. Babes and cars? The two go together like peanut butter and jelly. I'd like to see more companies pair up for ads. I'm sure it saves them on cost, and it helps me make decisions. I'm totally fine with advertising controlling my life. How else would I know how to spend my money?
The small print on the ad says, “Great combination for young swingers. Catalina Swimwear to put your shape in… and a Dodge Charger R/T… great shape to be in.” Well isn't that clever? It goes on to boast, “Both have beautiful styling and comfort. Both attract attention wherever they're seen. So go get in the swim' n swing of things with Catalina' 68 and Dodge 68.”
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.
