Tuesday Trends

What’s Next for food

3-Part Series on Nostalgia and its Impact on Food and Restaurants.

Hi all, here’s your Tuesday trend news!

Part 2 – Last week I got all technical on you with nostalgia “macrotrends” and how those trends might have implications for your small business.  (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.  )

If you’ve been wondering what are examples of “nostalgic food” check out this fun list!  I actually had a really beautiful homemade poptart at a bakery not long ago while visiting one of my dearest friends.  It was memorable because it was not only huge but also very tasty and most likely had way better ingredients than the boxed poptarts our kids love.  I thought it was super creative when I saw it.  They were pretty pricey, but they caught my eye and I thought it was worth the price.

These are some of the 2023 trendy nostalgic dishes:

  • Honey graham flavor 
  • Childhood breakfast cereals: Burger King has already released a new shake that contains Fruit Loop flavors.
  • Root beer floats, straight from the 1950’s. This summery flavor is finding its way back into some bars with nostalgia-inspired root beer float cocktails being served in tall beverage glasses.
  • S’mores
  • Baked Alaska: this is Carbonate’s pick for the expected 2023 dessert trend.
  • Pizza bites: Whole Foods expects to see healthier versions of macaroni and cheese and pizza bites dominate the 2023 market.
  • 90’s era candies: Yoplait has already designed Starburst, Gushers, and Skittles flavored yogurts. Taste the rainbow.
  • Pumpkin
  • Animal cookies
  • Kettle corn
  • Orange creamsicles
  • Twinkies
