With the new hype around Crossushi (a weird hybrid between croissant and sushi), we started thinking about all those stupid food trends that we had forgotten about over the years - most of which probably originated . So here's a little reminder...
The Pointless Trends You Almost Forgot
1 of 8Raw water
Last year one of the most ridiculous trends was definitely the raw water hype. It was meant to be unfiltered, unsterilised and untreated, but new research is suggesting that none of this is really relevant as it can probably give you diarrhea anyway…
2 of 8Unicorn Frappuccino
This was confusing, I mean they don't even look like unicorns? And it wasn't just frappuccinos, there were bagels, cakes, donuts and even a weird looking unicorn soup. I think it's best we left this one in 2017 along with waist trainers and fidget spinners....
3 of 8Prosecco-Flavored Everything
It's a great drink, we know. But there is nothing classy about Prosecco flavored cheese...
4 of 8Avocado Buns
This is not a real burger...
5 of 8Activated Charcoal Drink
This one probably tasted as good as it looked.... This detox drink was one of the biggest health fads of 2015. Praised by Insta bloggers it claimed to give you essentials nutrients, cure hangovers and boost metabolism, we're not so sure...
6 of 8The Need To Serve Everything In A Mason Jar
Drinks, porridge, deconstructed sushi, you name it and it was at some point put in a mason jar...
7 of 8Cloud Eggs
'Gramming your brunch has been an accepted practice for a long time now. However, this craze took making a nice brunch aesthetic to a whole new level. I mean who actually has the time to do this?
8 of 8Bubble Waffles
What's wrong with a normal waffle?
I guess we will just have to wait and see what 2018 has in store for us...
