16. The Avengers

16. The Avengers

This is where it all started. The first Avengers movie. There was so much electricity surrounding this movie that you can still feel it. Maybe a lot of that electricity is from the eighteen other movies they've put out along with it. That tends to keep the juices flowing. Back when this first came out, there had never been an Avengers movie before. I remember that feeling so important.

A friend recently asked me what Avenger he would be. I didn't know how to tell him without hurting his feelings. After a while of begging me, I finally told him. He would be Hawkeye, because I worry about his health. In the case of Hawkeye it's because he has no powers, yet he still goes out there and fights aliens. I worry for my friend's health because he's 2,000 pounds.

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.
