Almost every sport you can think of has at least one hit movie based on it. There are plenty to choose from with boxing. For MMA, look at 'The Fighter.' Basketball was successfully turned into the backdrop for 'Space Jam.' Baseball gave us a classic in 'Field of Dreams.' The list goes on, but it stops just short of volleyball. There are likely several good reasons for that, but the fact that it isn't a major televised sport is probably one of them.
As volleyball doesn't have a huge television audience, where Aurora Productions thought the audience for their 1990 volleyball film 'Side Out' was going to come from is a bit of a mystery. The mystery will never be solved, because the audience never appeared! A cast of cliched California surfer-style characters didn't help matters - or intrigue viewers - and so 'Side Out' turned out to be the last movie to bear the Aurora Productions name.
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.
