The failure of 'Glitter' had to sting everyone associated with it. The whole purpose of the movie was to make Mariah Carey a bonafide film star to go with her pop diva status, and it failed miserably. People just didn't want to go and watch it, and it bombed horribly at the box office. Not only that, but despite the fact that the film was built around being a vehicle for her, Carey didn't like it either.
Speaking in a televised interview a few years ago, Carey described 'Glitter' as being the biggest regret of her whole career. She found the film to be 'kitsch,' and said it took all of the next two years for people to start taking her music seriously again. She dislikes the part so much that she forbids her staff from even mentioning it in her presence!
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.
