Written by famous comedian, Tina Fey, Mean Girls was always going to be good. But we don't think anyone ever predicted exactly how good it would be. This is one of those films that will be quoted until the end of time and popular no matter when you end up watching it. Released in 2004, Mean Girls stars Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried. It even includes appearances by Tina Fey herself, as well as bestie and fellow comedian, Amy Poehler.
Mean Girls is a high school comedy, drama, and romance, which follows the story of Cady (Lohan), who enters high school after being home schooled in Africa her whole life. She ends up running with a crowd of girls known as 'the plastics' including their queen bee, Regina George (McAdams). Much girl drama ensues and it is highly entertaining!
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.
