 ### 15 Current Food Trends We're Gonna Cringe At In A Few Years

1. **Charcoal-Activated Everything**  

   From smoothies to ice cream, activated charcoal has been hailed as a detoxifying ingredient. In a few years, we might look back and question why we thought blackening our food was a good idea.

2. **Unicorn Food**  

   The vibrant, rainbow-colored foods have taken Instagram by storm. But will we really look back fondly on our unicorn lattes and bagels, or see them as a fleeting, overly photogenic trend?

3. **Edible Glitter**  

   Adding shimmer to everything from donuts to cocktails might seem magical now, but it’s likely we’ll soon find ourselves wondering why we needed to sprinkle glitter on our food in the first place.

4. **Sourdough Everything**  

   Sourdough's popularity during the pandemic led to an explosion of sourdough-based products. Soon, we'll likely question whether we really needed sourdough pancakes, pasta, and even crackers.

5. **Avocado-Infused Desserts**  

   Avocado's creamy texture is great for savory dishes, but pairing it with sweet treats like chocolate mousse and ice cream might seem odd in retrospect.

6. **Pasta Chips**  

   This trend took cooked pasta, baked it until crispy, and called it a snack. While novel, it's likely we’ll soon wonder why we felt the need to transform pasta into yet another snack food.

7. **Bone Broth Everything**  

   Bone broth has become a popular health trend, but the idea of adding it to every meal might soon be seen as overkill.

8. **Cricket Flour**  

   Used as a sustainable protein source, cricket flour has made its way into everything from protein bars to cookies. Future food enthusiasts might find this insect-based ingredient a bit off-putting.

9. **Plant-Based Meat That Tastes Like Real Meat**  

   While plant-based meat has its merits, some might cringe at the lengths we’ve gone to replicate meat, rather than just enjoying plant-based foods for what they are.

10. **Gold Foil on Food**  

    Adding edible gold leaf to dishes for an extra touch of luxury is a trend that might seem a bit extravagant when we look back on it.

11. **Cloud Eggs**  

    The fluffy, whipped egg whites topped with yolks may have been a visual treat, but they could be remembered as an unnecessary food gimmick.

12. **Rainbow Bagels**  

    These eye-catching bagels were a hit for their vibrant colors, but we might eventually view them as more style over substance.

13. **Bubble Tea with Cheese Foam**  

    Cheese foam on bubble tea has been a surprising combination, but it’s possible this mash-up might seem as curious as it is trendy in the future.

14. **Molecular Gastronomy**  

    This high-tech cooking method, involving techniques like spherification and foaming, could soon feel like a culinary fad rather than a staple.

15. **DIY Food Kits**  

    While fun, the trend of creating gourmet foods from kits might seem overly complicated in a few years when convenience and simplicity win out.

Food trends come and go, and what’s in vogue today might seem quaint or even ridiculous in the future. But for now, let’s enjoy the creativity and experimentation that keeps our dining experiences exciting.
