How would you describe the expression you see in the picture on the left-hand side? Pensive? A little bemused? People tend to use it to mean that they're dubious about something someone else has said, whether it's a suggestion, or a statement. If someone posts the Conceited meme to you, they may be questioning your intentions, your honesty, or the quality of your idea. You never see it for positive reasons.
The man pulling his best doubting face for the camera is a rapper called Conceited, and the image was actually taken in the middle of a rap battle. It was something of a delayed response; the footage had been on the internet for years before someone gave it the meme treatment. In the here and now, Conceited can be seen starring in the MTV series 'Wild'n Out.'
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.
