You have to find something to do between watching the bands, and you can't spend all of that time drinking and smoking because you'll eventually pass out and miss something really important. For the ever-resourceful hippies, the land they were on gave them the opportunity to build their own entertainment.
Surrounded by handy wood, thick branches and hay bales, it was easy for those with the ability to build climbing frames and play pens, which were as much fun for the adults as they were for the children, as seen here. We're not sure that modern health and safety executives would have signed off on this construction, but it looks solid enough, and diving headlong into a hay bale must have been fun. We're not so sure about the person stuck on top of that pole though, it looks a little uncomfortable to us!
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.
