Reddit user Prestigious-Humor872 asked: 'Food Trends People Can't Wait To Die Out'

Food trends are not so very different from fashion trends, constantly evolving and quickly becoming outdated or passé.

Can you think of the last time you were served ambrosia at a dinner party?


Or have you noticed how anything featuring kale is now met with an eye roll rather than excitement?

Of course, some food trends tend to last longer than others.

Even if many people wish that they would also become extinct... the sooner the better!

Redditor Prestigious-Humor872 was eager to hear all the food trends people wished would die out, and fast, leading them to ask:

"What modern food trend can you not wait to die?"

"2 ingredient desserts (with 7 'optional' ingredients that appear once you read the actual recipe)."- strawberry-emma

"Food trucks that charge the same price as a premium restaurant but serve half the size on a floppy plate that I have to stand up to eat."- thorn_10

"Food trucks."

"No brick and mortar?"

"We have a lobster roll truck-pulled by a Range Rover- that shows up for lunch and charges $22 for one entree."

Maybe It Gives Them Incentive?

"Tipping as an option BEFORE receiving good service."- mytimeis2044

Sweet Tooth? Or Cavity Express?

"A milkshake with a donut, lollipop, and cupcake attached."- Marleygem

Technology Slowly Taking Our Jobs...

"I just went to a restaurant, not a fast food place, a sit-down restaurant where you have to scan the QR code for the menu, then a screen pops up where you have to place your own order."

"No one comes to the table to answer questions, nothing."

"You place your order, a person comes by and throws your drinks at you. "

"Then they swing by a while later and throw your food at you."

"That’s all you see of them."

"You pay your bill on your phone, and are still expected to tip."- Megmuffin102

Be it in presentation, cooking style, or flavor profile, people will likely always try to make food "cool" in truly bizarre ways.

Sometimes ignoring that the only thing that should truly matter is whether or not it tastes good.

At least people have finally realized that kale doesn't need to be added to everything!

For now, at least...
