18. What's in a Name?

Being a music fan is hard. One day you're bopping along to your favorite artist's music with millions of other fans, the next day you're defending them for plowing their car into a crowd of people. Sometimes you just have to let go because the music stopped being good, or their name came up in the #metoo movement. Unfortunately, if you're not careful you may still have the remnant of your fandom, like a tattoo or a screen name.

I don't know if BiebersGurl4ever1 forgot that her nickname had Bieber in the title, or she just hoped nobody would notice when she posted that she doesn't normally listen to Justin Bieber. What? Are you a fan of Justin's humanitarian work instead? I think it's about time to change the username, BiebersGurl. Some things don't last 4ever... 1.

Did You Know...

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.
