'Jack the Giant Slayer' takes the story of 'Jack and the Beanstalk' and modernizes it in a way. It's about a boy who accidentally rips open a portal between the world of the giants and the world of normal-sized people. People versus giants? Sounds like it could be cool. With great CGi, there could be some incredible battles- wait, the CGI is terrible? Nevermind!
It's true. This movie just looks a little too goofy to be taken seriously, even if it isn't that bad. The limits of CGI are getting pushed so far and so fast that it really shows when a movie isn't up to par. People will tune out before they've even finished the trailer. This movie lost one hundred and eleven million dollars. Do you have any idea how many Big Macs that is?
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.
