Fox has historically always been - and still is - a massive name in the field of making movies. They got their fingers burned with 'Cleopatra,' but they stuck it out and came back to work. They release blockbuster films every year, but there's one kind of movie you'll never see them make again, and that's animations. We can thank the miserable performance of 'Titan A.E.' for that.
'Titan A.E.' may have been an animation, but it was a lavishly presented one, and featured both Matt Damon and Drew Barrymore in lead voice acting roles in the hope that the public would be attracted. They weren't. Fox spent $90m on 'Titan A.E.,' and only got $36m back. Their success elsewhere covered the cost of the losses, but the animation arm of Fox paid the price for the flop. It was permanently shut down.
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.
