# Sport-Themed Wieners The Football Sausage is Great for the Hungry Pigskin Fan By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-12-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/football-sausage References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2009/12/football-sausage-mamma-mia-thats-a-spicy-football.html) & [sahalie](http://www.sahalie.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&itemID=14331) Mmmm. Sausage is probably the world’s greatest food, and chocked full of pork. Seasoned to perfection, sausages are a staple of any [tailgate party](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7eleven-game-day-snacks). Better than other plain sausages, the football sausage brings cured meat and sports together. This novelty food is made out of the [regular sausage components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grass-fed-venison) but it is shaped to the form of a delicious football. There are not many foods you can actually play with, but with the football sausage, you actually can. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## 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 - **Sport-themed Food:** Creative food products that cater to a specific sport audience. - **Tailgating Innovation:** Innovative products that are designed for tailgating events. - **Novelty Shapes:** Food products that take on unique and fun shapes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** Opportunity for companies to create and market unique and creative food products for specific audiences. - **Sports Merchandising:** Potential for sports merchandising companies to expand their product lines to include sport-themed food products. - **Event Planning:** Opportunity for event planning companies to incorporate innovative food ideas into their offerings for tailgate parties and other events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheesy Macaroni-Infused Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/americana-sausage.md) - [Pretzels-Stuffed Oktoberfest Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-oktoberwrst-sausage.md) - [Seasonal Thanksgiving Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-haus-1.md) - [Seasonal Thanksgiving Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wurst-thanksgiving-sausage.md) - [Nachos-Inspired Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kielbasa-sausage.md) - [Pizza-Flavored Corn Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepperoni-pizza-sausage.md) - [Burger-Inspired Hot Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-cheeseburger-sausage.md) - [Meaty Football-Shaped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/football-pizza.md) - [Festives Corned Beef Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corned-beef-and-cabbage-sausage.md)
