# Anime Fast Food Packaging Mini Stop Cleverly Packages Its Fries to Act as Goku's Hair By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-03-13 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gokus-hair References: [en.rocketnews24](http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/03/12/get-your-dragon-ball-hair-fries-at-a-mini-stop-store-near-you/) & [ministop.ph](http://www.ministop.com.ph/) If you've never realized the similarity of Anime character [Goku's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-ball-beanie) hair to French fries before, you will now. '[Mini Stop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/littlest-mochi-parlour)' has taken advantage of this realization by creating a Goku fry box. The clever packaging is meant to build hype for the upcoming [Dragon Ball Z movie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-x-dragon-ball) called, 'Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods.' What better way to celebrate the release of this premiere than by battling a box of French fries? Fighting fries is a lot easier to digest than battling gods after all. One has to wonder if Mini Stop was sitting on this piece of brilliance for a while. Perhaps the store was waiting to use Goku's hair as inspiration for its fries until the movie release. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Anime Food Packaging:** There is an opportunity to create more anime-inspired food packaging to generate buzz for upcoming movies and shows. - **Pop Culture Packaging:** Incorporating popular culture references into product packaging is a trend that can create excitement and increase sales. - **Themed Food Packaging:** Themed food packaging can provide an opportunity for businesses to attract customers and increase brand recognition. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fast Food Industry:** Fast food restaurants can take advantage of themed packaging to create more excitement for their menu items. - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry can collaborate with food businesses to create co-branded packaging and merchandise. - **Marketing Industry:** Marketing agencies can work with businesses to create themed packaging and generate buzz for upcoming events and product launches. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anime-Inspired Restaurant Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wcdonalds-1.md) - [Anime-Themed Cereal Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-puffs-1.md) - [Anime-Inspired QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naruto-menu.md) - [Anime QSR Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attack-on-titan-1.md) - [Anime Restaurant Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wcdonalds.md) - [AI-Fuelled QSR Animated Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-japan-1.md) - [Transformable QSR Toy Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-genesis-evangelion-2.md) - [Anime-Inspired Garlic Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/special-grade-garlic-sauce.md) - [French Fry-Shaped Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fry-thru.md)
