This article explores some of the strangest food trends of 2024, highlighting the 'tomato ice toast' and 'scrambled pancakes' trends that have taken social media by storm. It also touches upon the rise of 'emotionally supportive water bottles' and the obsession with decorating Stanley Cups.
However, 2024 seemed to usher in bizarre food trends that have left even the most adventurous eaters puzzled. While some of these trends may tickle the taste buds, others are far from palatable and deserve to be relegated to the archives of cringe-worthy cuisine. Social media platforms, particularly TikTok, have taken to freezing a whole tomato and grating it atop freshly toasted bread, sometimes garnished with burrata cheese or a splash of olive oil.
This 'tomato ice toast' trend has left many foodies puzzled, prompting conversations on why some prefer to experiment with vegetables in such an unorthodox manner instead of enjoying them in their fresh state. The scrambled pancakes trend took TikTok by storm earlier this year. The recipe involves scrambling classic pancake batter as one would with eggs, leading to a culinary debate that divided the online community. Though the originator hated this new take on a classic breakfast, countless fans hailed it as 'genius' and 'so appealing'. Another strange trend points to the rise of emotionally supportive water bottles, specifically the famed Stanley Cups. Many have adopted these stylish containers as a source of hydration and comfort — perhaps to an absurd degree. While staying hydrated is undeniably important, it seems the craze of decorating these bottles with aesthetic trinkets might just be overkill
