47. Ironing

If you've been reading this list closely so far, you're probably expecting to see a quote from the CEO of a company who sells irons here, complaining that millennials don't have irons in their homes. We don't have any such quote, and we think most millennials probably do own irons - but they just don't have as much call to use them anymore. Because they don't get used, they don't get replaced - and that means fewer irons are being bought.

Millennials aren't too lazy to iron; they've come up with another solution to the problem of wasting hours pressing clothes until they're flat. There are a lot of modern clothes which don't need ironing. On top of that, we have sprays which get rid of creases, and dryers which also claim to do the same. Technology is making ironing unnecessary.

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.
