I have always found the mascot for the Oakland Raiders to be very interesting. It is basically just a football player. That is like being called the Oakland Football Players. Ok, so maybe it isn't that stupid, but it is still an odd logo. Being so odd is what also makes it so iconic. Like it or not, once you see black and grey, you can't help but think of the raiders. Their normal helmet is a little too classic though.
The top right is exactly the type of modern design I would expect to work well in the NFL in this era. It has the big logo with a carbon fiber background, looking very sleek. The bottom right has some great ideas, but the texturing is a little too much. It makes the helmet appear dirty.
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.
