There really is no stopping the Lego entertainment machine. Heading rapidly towards 75 years since the first building blocks went into production, the company is now bigger than ever; in 2015 it replaced Ferrari as the world's biggest brand according to Brand Finance, who measure such things. 'The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part' is the imaginatively titled follow up to the first Lego movie, which was released in 2014.
This film was originally slated for a 2017 release, before being moved back to 2018 and now again to February 8th, 2019. Usually when a movie gets moved back like that it indicates a production issue, but we understand it was only done to make room for 'The Lego Batman Movie' and 'The Lego Ninjago Movie', both released in 2017. The narrative revolves around Lego Duplo bricks arriving and threatening to turn Bricksburg into a nuclear wasteland, but despite that we expect it to be full of cuteness and laughs.
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.
