For us, there's really only two places where you should expect planes to be. Either at the airport, or in a plane museum. Maybe in a harbor if they're a seaplane, but that's about it. Certainly not buried under a foot of sand at a remote beach in Wales. A place so unexpected that no-one even thought to look for it there for 70 years.
The plane itself actually crashed there in 1942 during World War II. The pilot did not escape the wreckage, and the Lockheed fighter was left there to be covered by the sand and sea. It wasn't until the last few years that storms stripped the sand from the top of the wreckage, and the tides exposed the ancient aircraft. One minute it wasn't there, the next it was.
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.
