The Little Rascals was one of the best kid's movies of the 90s and Travis Tedford played the most rascally rascal of all, Spanky McFarland. Even as adults, we still love revisiting this hilarious and adorable film from time to time. Tedford appeared in some minor roles post-Little Rascals, including Slappy and the Stinker, A Bug's Life, The Thirteenth Floor, Freaky Friday, and The Final, but his acting career didn't quite take off like he had expected.
After leaving the spotlight for good, Tedford began living a very normal life indeed. It is reported that he is now working as a marketing specialist for Texas Trust Credit Union. After winning a Young Artist Award for his portrayal of Spanky McFarland, we never would have imagined that this is where he'd end up! But who knows, maybe he loves it.
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.
