The shake comes in a regular version and a whipped cream version, which are both characterized by their ice cream flavor with bacon bits for a sweet yet salty flavor. The milkshake also acts as a dipping sauce by encouraging patrons to dip a slice of their pizza into it for an unexpected new flavor and texture experience. The Domino’s Bacon Shake is priced starting at 680 yen and is a limited edition menu item that will only be available through March 5, 2023. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dipping-friendly Foods:** Restaurants are creating new dipping-friendly food and drink options that encourage flavor and texture experimentation. - **Savory Milkshakes:** The creation of unconventional savory milkshake flavors, such as bacon or BBQ, present opportunities for experimentation and expansion in the milkshake industry. - **Sweet and Salty Combinations:** Food businesses are combining sweet and salty ingredients to create unique flavor combinations and new taste sensations for consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fast Food:** Fast food restaurants, like Domino's Pizza, can explore and introduce new food and drink items to their menu to drive repeat business with unique and innovative offerings. - **Beverage:** The beverage industry can experiment with combining flavors that traditionally wouldn't be paired together, like bacon and ice cream, and introduce new and exciting products to the market. - **Snack Foods:** Snack food companies can investigate creating dipping-friendly products, like pretzel sticks or crackers, and encourage consumers to mix and match with their favorite dipping sauces for a personalized flavor experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pizzeria-Branded Shake Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-shake-stand.md) - [Bacon-Infused Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-bacon-bash-meal.md) - [Savory Bacon-Infused Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonic-peanut-butter-bacon-shake.md) - [Burger-Inspired Pizza Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-pizzas.md) - [Bacon-Garnished Chocolate Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutella-bacon.md) - [Exclusive Maple Bacon Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-bacon-shake.md) - [Burger-Style Pizza Lunches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-crispizzaburger.md) - [QSR-Produced Milkshake Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-7.md) - [Soda-Flavored Milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-pepper-shake.md)
