In the aftermath of the messy custody battle, journalists started to dig deeper into the home life of the Culkins. What they found was not flattering to Kit. According to reports from many of the siblings, Kit's tough-as-nails manager persona wasn't just restricted to the studio. Although he wasn't abusive to his children, he didn't treat them with much respect or with love.
In one particular example, Macaulay confessed that his father would often force him to sleep on the couch instead of his own bed, if he had upset Kit in some way or "done something wrong." This was a boy worth tens of millions of dollars, forced to sleep on a couch in the living room. It got so bad with their father, in fact, that Macaulay and his brothers and sisters started calling their dad "Stinky". Not too creative, but very effective.
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.
