They say good things come in threes, and the logo of Northwest Airlines proves that. That 'W' next to the text is actually both an 'N' and a 'W' at the same time. The clever use of that white line as a divider means you can interpret it both ways. Because of that, we have an 'N' for 'north,' a 'W' for 'west,' or taken together, an 'NW' for 'north west.' That's design genius - and it doesn't stop there!
If we look at the logo as an 'N,' that leaves the little red tip which would otherwise be the top corner of the 'W' out on its own. When taken in isolation, it's actually an arrow, and guess which direction it's pointing in? You guessed it - north west. Someone gave this logo some serious consideration and thought, and we're more than happy to give them the praise they deserve for their innovation.
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.
