What is the Pop Art Revival trend?

Pop Art Revival: Pop art is being reinstated as a playful addition to food packaging or restaurant designs in a way that's intended to immediately capture consumers' attention. More than the playful elements such designs add to the products and services they're used to enhance, they're able to connect with consumers' inclination for nostalgia in a way that's easy to implement.
