As it turns out, even the most basic and banal items around your house might have a value you'd never considered. One of them is the mug you drink your coffee from. What might look like a dull, floral design to you might be the missing item from someone else's collection, and they'll pay you a handsome amount to make it theirs.
Some mugs are more valuable than others. The average coffee mug from Disney World, for example, goes for $50. There are some rare mugs that routinely go or $250 a time or more. If you have a mug that has a logo or branding related to a TV show, or a limited-edition print, or just something that isn't available in shops anymore, you'd probably be amazed by how much someone will pay to take it off your hands. Once you know what's valuable and what isn't, you can become a trader.
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.
