15 Hipster Food Trends That Need To Die In 2018

So sick of this shit.

Unicorn desserts

insidebrucrewlife.com

Because everyone knows "unicorn" is just another word for a ton of sugar.

Pizza with fruit toppings

Twitter: @MoonEmojii

Pizza is a strictly savory food and nothing that wouldn't go in my pasta belongs on it.

Activated charcoal anything

Combining a bogus health fad with ice cream sounds like a lose-lose situation. If you're going to eat a dessert, might as well indulge in the real deal!

Hand salads

Bon Appétit @bonappetit

It's called a "hand salad" but let's not focus on that https://t.co/fRTxgR79cY

Stop trying to make salads fun!

Sushi in bread

Sushi already has a texturally perfect carb to go along with it and it's called rice.

Spaghetti donuts

instagram.com

Everyone knows that wet, savory red sauce is one of the highlights of spaghetti and you lose out on the entire eating experience when you eat it in baked-donut form.

Mega cocktails

Mmm, love the taste of backwash.

Fried chicken sandwiches

Blue Ribbon / Bullfrog + Baum

I'm not saying I won't eat every single fried chicken sandwich put in front of me —

just that I think there about 1,849 other different ways to make a tasty sandwich that don't involve fried chicken.

Novelty serving plates

What are the "plates" trying to distract you from? 🤔

Fancy sparkling water

spindriftfresh.com

Can everyone just get a SodaStream and call it a day?

Gold-dusted food

instagram.com

You can't *taste* gold, so you're really just paying for the Instagram shot. In which case, it's time to reevaluate your life.

Avocado lattes

Like coffee in ice cream cones, coffee in avocados ruins the taste of two delicious things in one item.

Cheetos-dusted food

Clark McCaskill / BuzzFeed

Let's call this what it is: Cayenne-flavored bread crumbs.

Rosé-flavored things

sugarfina.com

I love rosé as a light summer afternoon beverage, but as a dessert flavor, it's mostly a marketing gimmick. If I want tart flavor, I'll turn to my trusty go-to: Sour Patch watermelon slices.

Restaurant pop-ups

Liz Gemmill / Michele Marie PR

Pop-ups are the fuccbois of the food world: All talk, and zero satisfaction. (All other analogies you were thinking of apply here as well.)
