Prison can be a pretty scary place, especially for a 21-year-old girl who's a first-time offender. It's probably no surprise that she wanted to smuggle a loaded gun in there. Y'know, for protection. What did raise a few eyebrows is her method of getting it in there, which was - and we're not making this up - inside her lady parts.
Leaving aside the obvious questions as to how cavernous her cavern really is, the other question is how she thought she could get past the metal detector, even with the gun as snug and safe as it was. It didn't work out for her, either way. She was discovered and charged with introducing contraband into a penal facility, plus additional charges because the gun was stolen. Ouch in many ways.
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.
