Critic score: 25/100 - User score: 8.8/10 - You put two of the biggest comedy acts of the time in the same movie and you're going to have success. Well, you're at least going to have success with fans. Critics may still pan you. This Eddie Griffin and Orlando Jones vehicle has them swap places. Orlando Jones, who plays the non-hood black guy, must switch places with Eddie Griffin, a dude from the hood. Comedy ensues.
What critics said: "Decidedly lowbrow." Well, yeah, but that's what it's supposed to be. A lowbrow comedy should be decidedly lowbrow. That means it's successful. Let's not act like every comedy needs to be Harvard-grad comedy. Give me stupid jokes all day for those days when I just want to turn my brain off. Once again, the critics fail.
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.
