In an ideal world, yearbook photos wouldn't exist. No matter how cool we think we are when we're at school, fashions change over time. That means the hairstyle, makeup, and outfit you chose for your commemorative picture will probably look completely absurd ten years after the photograph has been taken.
Some of us were sadly never all that cool to begin with. Our teenage years can be awkward. We haven't fully grown into our bodies yet. That can mean bad skin, crooked teeth, shy smiles, and a general appearance of being uncomfortable in our own skin - all captured for posterity!
It isn't just us mere mortals who have reason to regret our yearbook photos, though. All of our favorite celebrities were young once, and they have their own embarrassing yearbook pictures to worry about. As a consequence of their fame, those pictures end up becoming public - and here they are!
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.
