There's a couple of things that you expect to find at the bottom of a cereal packet. Cereal, for starters, as well as those plastic knickknacks that Cap'n Crunch gives out to choke two year olds. One of the things that you probably wouldn't expect is a proper wedding ring - and one belonging to your husband, at that.
No, it wasn't an attempt by Lanette Ellis's grocery bagger to propose to her. She already has a husband, and this was definitely his ring. There's only one real way it could have got there, and that's if it slipped off while he was scrounging up the last of the Special K. Any alternative is a little bit too disturbing to actually consider.
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.
