Companies don't come any bigger or more successful than Amazon. What started as a traditional mail order company has expanded to the point where it has its own subscription-based television network, and has made founded Jeff Bezos the richest man on the planet. All of this from a company whose logo initially seems to be as dull as it could possibly be - until you pay a little more attention to that arrow beneath the lettering.
Firstly, as we saw with the FedEx logo, the arrow is supposed to represent movement, or delivery. Secondly, the design of this particular arrow is meant to make the whole logo seem like it's smiling - and therefore give us the impression that Amazon is a happy, friendly company. Thirdly, note where the arrow starts and finishes - the letter 'a,' and the letter 'z.' That's because Amazon has everything you could ever want, from A to Z!
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.
