20. How to Make Small Talk with Strangers

Now, no one says that you should go out and look for strangers to talk to if you don't want to. You also don't always need to talk to everybody who talks to you. The thing is, you're going to end up in situations where you have no choice. It's better to be well equipped at small talk than to fight it. Fighting it only makes it worse. Instead of small talk, you end up in a fight with the person.

Everyone is a different type of talker too. Some people who talk to you won't be good listeners. Whatever. That's their deal. All you have to do is be a good listener and then fake a phone call to get the hell out of there. Fake a call, look at your phone, then put a worried look on your face and say, "it's my doctor."

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.
