What's funny about the Final Fantasy series of video games is that they are known for pushing the bounds of storytelling. This is especially true in how the games, despite being on weak hardware, were able to adopt some filmmaking-inspired stylistic choices that set the game apart. You'd think that would translate to an incredibly great story for their first movie, but in fact the story is the worst part about the movie.
The movie looks great, but I've seen it several times and I still couldn't explain what it was about. You could put a gun up to my head and I still couldn't tell you. Gamers aren't like comic book fanboys. Gamers will not show up if they think the movie will be bad. That's why you see so many gaming movies flop. They always suck so the gamers don't show up.
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.
