Nickelback is so hated as a band that they've almost become a standing joke. We could have included frontman Chad Kroeger on this list, but that would be doing him a disservice; the entire band is equally loathed. Their middle-of-the-road rock anthems with trivial lyrics are responsible for the hatred, with 'Rockstar' being the worst offender. Writing 'She Keeps Me Up' about cocaine and then confessing nobody in the band had ever taken cocaine might qualify as the least rock-and-roll thing in the history of the genre.
Nickelback wouldn't be in the position to be hated if there weren't people out there buying their music, though. Despite all the negativity directed at them, they keep making music, and people keep buying it. Also, if you try to tell us that you haven't occasionally listened to 'How You Remind Me' when you're sure that nobody's watching you, we're going to have to call you a liar.
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.
