No, that wasn't a typing mistake. A weather vane has honestly sold at auction for more than six million dollars, and therefore we think it makes perfect sense to have a look on the roof of your house and any other property you might own to find out if there's one there. They used to be a common fixture on many buildings, but over the years they slowly fell out of fashion, and now we no longer build the kind of structures which would have space for a weather vane on the top. They're a lost art - and they attract the sort of value you'd associate with art, too.
Victorian-era weathervanes are very popular on eBay and at auction houses, where they routinely sell for over a thousand dollars. The more intricate and ornate the better, and the better the vintage, the bigger the price. The six-million-dollar weathervane, though, was a Native American design, and went at a private auction.
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.
