An action figure could get away with this flub, but not a Barbie doll. The whole point of Barbie dolls is to help girls feel insecure about their body image. If the Barbies look busted, how are girls going to feel bad about not having an impossibly skinny body and flawless features? I'm obviously being sarcastic, but I also have a good point. Boys or girls who play with action figures can just pretend the messed up eye is part of the character. On a Barbie, that doesn't work so much.
I grew up with an older sister, so I'm no stranger to playing with dolls. I'd use my allowance to buy a doll just so my sister MIGHT accept me. It never worked. All it did was give her new reasons to make fun of me. I should have seen that coming. Now I look back on all those years of wasted allowances and cherish those memories.
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.
