I've never known the stereotype that bakers are dumb, but this is a good piece of evidence to prove it. I bet there was a long discussion in the bakery about why someone would want "Olympic Rings" on their cake. No one at any point thought, "this doesn't make sense. Let's call the client and see what's up." Let's face it, most people just aren't very smart. Or the person is smart enough, but not at seven dollars an hour. At seven dollars an hour, you get the dumb version of me.
This is obviously a cheap cake, but have you seen those fancy cakes that have moving parts? I can't begin to imagine how you would make one of those. No wonder they cost an arm and a leg. That's a skill only a few people can do, and even then, they struggle with 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.
