Who used to laugh at the big, fake wresting shows on television? Who thought Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior were funny? Who thought WWE was for kids, and shouldn't be taken seriously? Take a look at the money Vince McMahon has in the bank. He's had the last laugh on all of you.
Making household names out of not only Hogan but 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, the Rock, John Cena and Dave Bautista, McMahon won the wrestling war when he bought out his final major competitor, World Championship Wrestling, in 2001. His wealth has grown despite his disastrous attempt to break into football with the XFL; and he wasn't put off by that failure, because he's recently confirmed he's going to try again! He has the reserves to do so; WWE's most recent round of TV rights negotiations earned them over $1bn. Will McMahon retire any time soon? 'No chance in Hell'!
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.
