# Child Taste Test Dramatizations The First Taste Video Documents Kid's Funny Reactions to Foods By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-05-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-taste References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/first-taste-slow-motion-reactions-of-children-tasting-various-foods-for-the-first-time/) & [tedxsydney](http://tedxsydney.com/) Some foods are an acquired taste and, as the First Taste video demonstrates, some foods make a horrible first impression. Created as a collaboration between [Saatchi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snack-right) & Saatchi and Heckler for the TEDxSydney 2013 event, this short film portrays the [dramatic reactions of children](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-the-bib) that are either quite daring or have been sufficiently tricked into trying [different types of foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crosse-blackwell) that even some adults find unpalatable. The slow-mo action shots give each shot the intensity it deserves, giving us the full effect of each child's distaste to a hilariously over the top degree. Anyone who remembers the first time they tried something utterly disgusting may find some and plenty of humor in the First Taste video. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Child Taste Test Dramatizations:** A growing trend in humorously documenting children's reactions to trying different types of foods provides ample opportunity for food and beverage companies to explore new product development and marketing strategies. - **Slow-motion Food Reactions:** The use of slow-motion filming in food reaction videos creates intensified reactions that can be used by companies in the entertainment industry to create shareable content for social media platforms. - **Acquired Tastes:** The exploration of acquired tastes in food can lead to new potential markets for food and beverage companies and provides an opportunity to attract new customers with unique and daring flavors. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can leverage these child taste test dramatizations and slow-motion food reaction videos to innovate new product development and market new products more effectively. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can capitalize on slow-motion food reactions to create engaging and shareable content on social media platforms, which can result in increased audience engagement and exposure. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies can explore using food reaction videos to create engaging content for clients across a wide range of industries, resulting in increased effectiveness and engagement in marketing campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Imaginative Condiment Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-can-already-taste-it.md) - [Quirky Plant-Based Food Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosh-food.md) - [Kid-Friendly Recipe Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kid-friendly-recipe.md) - [Kid-Friendly Gourmet Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gustus-vitae-kids-menu.md) - [Branded Pregnancy Scans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pregnancy-scans.md) - [Burger Ad Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-kings-new-campaign.md) - [Multisensory Television Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taste-the-tv.md) - [Healthful Snackable Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stickylickits.md) - [Do-Good Pizza Taste Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-tastes-better-social-experiment.md)
