I always find it interesting to see what people are carrying on the subway. Like I had mentioned before, my own uncle had struggled with taking an entertainment center across New York. This is just how people have to live, so you never know what might show up on the train. In this case it's a tire, which you'd think would be easy to travel with since it's just a wheel you can roll around, but it's not so easy. Tires are filthy, off balance, and sometimes have metal sticking out of them. One time I had to haul 80 used tires across town. I cut myself on the final tire. THE FINAL TIRE. 79 other tires with no cuts. What are the odds? I'd say they were 1 in 80.
This guy definitely looks TIREd, and I must be too to make that pun.
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.
