Be honest. How many of you have just looked at this picture and immediately thought about the 'Tower of Terror' ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios? Yeah, we did, too. There's a very good reason that it looks the way it does, though. Before ultimate celebrity power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z bought it for $2.6m, it used to be a church.
The unusual dimensions of the building allow for some fairly unique design features. The ceilings in some places are 26 feet high. That's let the new owners install a step-up dining room and a sitting room that's more like a loft. Those kinds of dimensions are also a great way to show off your impressive book collection, and so there's a floor to ceiling library in there somewhere, too. We're guessing you need quite a large ladder if you want to browse the top shelf.
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.
