Following the Wilmington Blue Rocks Krispy Kreme Donut Hot Dog, [Milwaukee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allstar-game-jersey) 'Inside the Park' corn dog-imitating snacks and [Arizona Diamondbacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colachup) Churro Dog, the chicken and potato-filled cone will be available at Houston Astros games. As That's Nerdalicious! puts it, they are just "the latest club to fire a fattening shot in the ballpark arms race." The chicken and waffle cone consists of fried chicken pieces and mashed potatoes with lots of honey mustard drizzle as topping. Of course, the cone is also a waffle cone. Posted on Twitter by Darren Rovell, the calorie-filled cone can be found at [Minute Maid Park](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vodka-lemonade-iced-tea). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Trashy Treats:** Opportunity for food entrepreneurs to create indulgent and outrageous snacks for sporting events. - **Ballpark Arms Race:** Potential for companies to develop unique and competitive food offerings to attract fans at sports stadiums. - **Creative Convergence:** Space for innovative mashups of traditional food items to create new and exciting culinary experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food companies to capitalize on the demand for unique and unconventional stadium snacks. - **Sports and Entertainment:** Potential for sporting venues to differentiate themselves by offering exclusive and memorable food experiences. - **Social Media and Marketing:** Space for companies to leverage the popularity of viral food trends to create buzz and engage fans online. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Peanut-Filled Dessert Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle-cone-pie.md) - [Rolled Chicken Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-waffles-roller.md) - [Waffle-Flavored Potato Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-city-waffle.md) - [Snacking-Friendly Waffle Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-waffle-wedge-basket.md) - [Southern Fried Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-waffles-sandwich.md) - [Brunch-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baskin-robbins-1.md) - [Caramel-Dipped Waffle Cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salted-caramel-dipped-waffle-cone.md) - [Toaster Waffle Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-waffle-sandwich.md) - [Decadent Multitextured Ice-Cream Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-debuts.md)
