If your new year resolutions include eating a [healthier diet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivers-real-foods) and doing more creative things, then look no further. I give you the rather brilliant [origami burger kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-burger-don), from the far east.

For only $6, you get 16 pieces of paper which can be folded following instructions to create the impressive menu featured in the gallery; you can make two burgers, fries, a soda and a tray.

**Implications** - These origami creations steer away from the contemporary pattern of online fun and media entertainment. Companies must remember that there is still a large demographic that is interested in traditional forms of fun. In providing these simplistic forms of pleasure, companies can ensure buyers will appreciate these classic styles of recreation.
