This just gets worse, doesn't it? Is anybody else getting the feeling that this movie was shot on Indian burial ground? When she wasn't being pumped full of drugs, slapped by the director and told to lose weight, Judy Garland was apparently being sexually assaulted by her co-stars.
According to Garland's third husband, who released a biographical book on the actress after her death, she told him that she was constantly plagued by the actors playing the Munchkins, who despite their appearance were raucous and often unpleasant men in their 30s and 40s. They particularly liked running underneath her and putting their hands up her dress. It sounds like her experience on the set of this film was something close to torture. Again, this may not even be the worst thing the Munchkins were accused of, and we will get to that later on in the list.
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.
