We really only have one word to describe this, and we're not even convinced it's a real word. The word is 'ew.' We're not even going to get into why this is a disgusting thing to have printed on a t-shirt; it's self-explanatory, and nobody with any sense of dignity or pride would walk around promoting their toilet habits to people they don't know. We hope they're not sat inside a restaurant; this would put us right off our food!
On closer inspection, beneath the offensive slogan, there's an image of a dumper truck. The most likely explanation for the shirt's existence is that the man wearing it is either a truck enthusiast, or works for a trucking company. Even so, we can think of better marketing campaigns to promote the fact than this one. 'I love trucking' would get the message across without turning anyone's stomach.
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.
