Continuing our look at the woes of Global Road, here's another of their questionable releases - 'Show Dogs.' When you factor in the sheer number of films they released which delivered either an average or poor box office return, it's a wonder that they managed to stay open for as long as they did. 'Show Dogs' wouldn't have been all that expensive to make, if it weren't for the fact that it had to be hastily and expensively re-cut and re-shot shortly before its release.
The original edit of the film contained a scene that preview audiences considered to be in such poor taste that we can't even describe it here. The producers were compelled to issue a public apology for their lack of judgment, and made dramatic changes before the full release. Given the additional costs incurred, it no longer stood any chance of generating the kind of money required to save the studio.
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.
