An Oreo is already beyond just being a cookie. It's like two cookies plus cream. How much more do you really need to mix with two cookies and some cream? The answer is everything. Oreo feels like the fair game cookie. Oreos are down for anything, like that one person in college who would drink one beer and start yelling "I'm experimenting tonight!" I think because we don't have all the extra baggage about making Oreos ourselves the way we do with chocolate chip, it makes them way easier to desecrate with something like pickles.
For me, sometimes pickles are tough to get down just by themselves. If you get a bad brine, then the whole pickle balance is off. You'll especially want some tasty brine if you're going to dip your Oreo in the pickle juice. Yum!
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.
