Actually, these [fun cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-city-cookies-holiday-range) were made by using ABC [cookie cutters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-cutout-cookies) ($11.99) from Perpetual Kid. They come in three designs: one missing a head, one a leg and another without an arm. No one will want to touch these if they think they've been nibbled on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Already Been Chewed Cookies:** Opportunity for novelty food items that are humorous and playful. - **Unique Cookie Cutters:** Opportunity to expand into niche markets with specialized cookie cutter designs. - **Anti-waste Movement:** Opportunity to promote sustainability and reduce food waste through creative product designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakeware:** Innovative designs for baking tools can create marketing opportunities and cater to niche markets. - **Food Service Industry:** Novelty food items can attract customers and create brand experiences. - **Sustainability Sector:** Creating products that promote sustainability and reduce waste can align with the values and preferences of environmentally-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Christmas Eve Cookie Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-for-santa-cookie-kit.md) - [Elevated Holiday-Ready Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/last-crumb-2.md) - [Cookie-Packed Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shortbread-advent-calendar.md) - [Holiday Binge Watching Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-city-cookies-and-tbs.md) - [Holiday Film Cookie Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddy-the-elf-hat-sugar-cookie-kit.md) - [Dunkable Holiday Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baileys-swap-the-small-talk-pack.md) - [Fudge-Covered Gingerbread Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keebler-gingerbread-fudge-strips.md) - [Cookie Gifting Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destroymediocrity.md) - [Artisan-Inspired Christmas Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prepackaged-christmas-cookies.md)
