No matter what holy text you prescribe to, bragging about charity is usually a big no-no. I'm pretty sure Satanism even has a clause against it. I mean, no one needs you to tweet every time you give a homeless person a dollar outside of 7-11. It's just not that big a deal. Take it to the next level and that's when you start lying about charity.
A restaurant goer wanted the world to know that he gave a generous tip around Christmas time. Strike one, he's bragging about it. Strike two, as one of his Facebook friends points out, he's showing the customer copy, which means he most likely never left that tip on the real receipt. I appreciate the extra bit of realism with the cute little "pay it forward" note and all, but come on. Just don't lie about this stuff.
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.
