If you've ever played the videogame Tony Hawk Pro Skater, then you are thinking about how fun this rail could be to grind. It's never ending! Too bad the normal world wouldn't ever see someone skating this rail, so it's pretty much useless. Someone is going to be texting while they walk down the stairs (never a good idea, but you gotta do what you gotta do) and then they'll flip over the rail, tumbling down the stairs right into a million dollar lawsuit.
I know some guys who are so manly that they'd see that and immediately go to their truck, get a metal saw, and cut this down. They wouldn't even do a bad job about it either. They'd sand it down and make it look professional. I'm not that type of guy. I'm the guy texting and falling over 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.
