One band gave the world grunge music, and redefined the sound of rock and roll for an entire generation. The other gave us 'MMMBop.' Can you tell which is which? This shirt may have the name of grunge pioneers Nirvana on it, but the family of brothers on that photograph is Hanson. Worst of all, we suspect that whoever made this t-shirt knows that, and simply doesn't care.
There have long been debates about whether people should buy shirts that relate to bands they've never heard of or listened to when they become a fashion statement. Ramones and Motorhead t-shirts were everywhere a few years ago, being worn by people who didn't even know they were promoting bands. This is a case of someone subverting that trend by making nonsense band t-shirts, and selling them to unsuspecting punters!
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.
