We could honestly write a book about all the things you shouldn't do in life. Like cuddling a polar bear, hi-fiving a chainsaw, running with scissors, or putting a lightbulb up your butt. Especially that last one, which is definitely not a bright idea. Now, thanks to this photo, we have a new "don't" to add to the list: pole dancing on the subway with a full cup of soda from Dunkin' Donuts.
Who knew that you'd end up pouring your drink all over an unsuspecting passenger while showing another a lot more than you intended? Well, us, for starters. And yet this woman went ahead and did it anyway. At least the guy doesn't look too fazed by a liquid slap in the face. Maybe this was the end of her routine, and he was already wet.
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.
