Airports can be stressful places. They get crowded, they're full of people rushing around, and all too often your flight is delayed. When you're bored, jetlagged, and just want to get to wherever it is you're going, they can be among the worst places to be in the whole world.
Because of all that, we're especially grateful to all the people who make airports a little more enjoyable. Some of them do it on purpose. Others have no idea they're making everybody else laugh. Whether deliberately or accidental, those heroic souls are making the hours we spend there more bearable.
We're celebrating those airport comedians today! Some of them posed for these pictures on purpose, and others had no idea a photograph was being taken. Either way, they've all done their bit to put smiles on the faces of exhausted commuters, and that's a fine thing. Our hats are tipped!
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.
