This may have been taking it a little too far, although we salute all of these people for their courage. With the festival oversold, and all the good camping spaces taken, people were forced to camp a little farther away from the action than they'd really like to be. And by that, we mean the nearest clear space they could find was a nearby graveyard.
A willingness to sleep with or on top of the dead just to make sure you don't miss out on a festival is to be admired, but we can't help but wonder what these people saw late at night. With a mind full of psychoactive chemicals, in a spooky graveyard, in the dark, anything could have happened. Or maybe they were all just hardy souls who didn't believe in any of that, and so they just got on with it. Either way, we're not sure we'd want to try it out for ourselves.
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.
