You'll see very few things on screen during 'Saving Private Ryan' that aren't correct for their time period or location. The guns, uniforms, locations and sounds are all as authentic as they could possibly be. Obviously, given the amount of time that's passed since the Second World War, many of the vehicles, planes and ships that were used at the time are long since obsolete, and have been scrapped. 'Many' doesn't mean 'all' though.
Spielberg found out that two landing craft of the type that were used in the Omaha Beach scenes were still intact, and in theory still sea-worthy. They were museum pieces, but Spielberg had them brought out of storage and tested. They were still capable of doing the job they were designed to do, and so they were used for filming. Even some of the vehicles seen on screen in this movie are war veterans!
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.
