While some people still may be addicted to the [store brand pop-up pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smash-foods-toasties), people like the chef from PornBurger are coming up with their own [toaster tart treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ginsters-pastry-toasties). In this case, his version of the Pop Tart is more appropriate to eat at lunch or dinner than breakfast. Comically called 'I Can Haz Pop Tart' after a popular Internet meme, his creation tastes exactly like a hamburger. The chef turned the once sweet treat into a savory one that includes mashed grass-fed beef patty, bacon jam, melted cheddar cheese and a sesame poppyseed pastry in place of a bun. It's the perfect snack for those who want to eat a hamburger on-the-go -- without the mess. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Pop Tarts:** Opportunity for innovative and customizable versions of the iconic toaster pastry. - **Savory Treats:** Creating unconventional and savory twists on traditionally sweet snacks. - **On-the-go Snacks:** Developing convenient and portable food options for busy consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Exploring new flavor combinations and food experiences. - **Fast Casual Dining:** Introducing unique and indulgent menu items to attract adventurous diners. - **Convenience Stores:** Providing alternative grab-and-go options for customers seeking savory snacks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Protein-Packed Breakfast Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptarts-protein.md) - [Crunchy Toaster Pastry Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptarts-crunchy-poppers.md) - [Donut-Flavored Toaster Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-tarts-donuts.md) - [Frozen Toaster Pastry Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptarts-and-chain.md) - [Toaster Pastry Bundt Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frosted-strawberry-poptarts.md) - [Chocolate-Filled Breakfast Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-tarts-1.md) - [Oversized Party-Ready Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptarts-party-pastry.md) - [Toaster Pastry-Inspired Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-and-poptart.md) - [Toaster Pastry Butter Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-kit.md)
