We've already paid one visit to the Davis household (whom you'll remember for the striking name 'Pirate Howsmon Davis' earlier on), and now we're back again for his younger brother, eleven-year-old Zeppelin Howsmon Davis. The 'Howsmon' element of the name isn't a strange naming tradition, by the way - it's part of father Jonathan Davis' own name, and so passes on to his children.
We don't have to use much imagination to work out where Davis got the inspiration for this name from, and we don't think it was giant airships. 'KoRn' is a hard rock band, and one of many who would have grown up listening to the music of British heavy metal legends 'Led Zeppelin.' We think that's the most likely source, although we're prepared to be wrong. Maybe Davis really is a huge admirer of huge inflatable aviation vehicles after 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.
