Before Kanye West came along and stamped his name all over the idea of a celebrity sneakers endorsement deal, Michael Jordan had the game wrapped up. Basketball's all-time greatest player was an obvious target for sponsorships and endorsements, and in the Air Jordan, he found a line of income which has lasted far longer than his playing career. New Air Jordans are still released to this day.
They're expensive when they're brand new, but if you have a pair of vintage originals, you could really be in the money. Air Jordan 1's in gold and black sell online for $25,000 if they're in pristine condition. Air Jordan 12 OVOs and Air Jordan 2 OGs are also worth well over a thousand dollars each. The message you should be taking from this list is clear - stop throwing out your old sneakers. In fact, stop throwing out anything at all!
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.
