# Meat Camouflages The Magic Salad Plate By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-07-05 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hilarious-lady-magnet-aussie-magic-salad-plate References: [advertolog](http://www.advertolog.com/paedia/reels/2008/07/02/512624/) & [secure.promoplace.au](https://secure.promoplace.com.au/SaladPlate/default.aspx) According to Australian meat pie maker Four'N Twenty, the ladies like a man that eats salad for lunch. With this in mind, the company has invented what they call a, “miracle of modern science that completely eclipses such wonders as the telephone, the Polaroid camera and even the iPod!” The Magic Salad Plate is an ingenious serving dish that camouflages your high cal Four'N Twenty meat pie by what looks like a [big healthy salad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-salads). From a questionable testimonial by 'Tim', “I used to eat my pie and the ladies would just ignore me. Now with the Four'N Twenty Magic Salad Plate I'm a lunch time lady magnet!” I think this is a riot. The melamine plate with artificial greens is completely food safe and available for $5 AUS plus shipping. Preorders are being taken now; but alas shipping is only available within Australia. This very funny video shows just how the Magic Salad Plate works to fool the ladies. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Regional](https://www.trendhunter.com/regional) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Disguised Food:** Opportunity for companies to create innovative products that hide unhealthy components of food in plain sight. - **Social Perception of Eating:** Opportunity for companies to create products that make eating healthy more socially desirable. - **Novelty Serveware:** Opportunity for companies to create and market unique serveware that enhances the dining experience. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for companies to improve the health halo of their products and enhance social appeal by creating visually deceptive food and serving dishes. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Opportunity for companies to promote the social appeal of healthy eating and market novelty serving ware. - **Retail and Ecommerce:** Opportunity for companies to innovate in the retail and eCommerce space by offering unique, visually-pleasing dining products that enhance consumer experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elevated Fast-Casual Entrees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-salad-market-plates.md) - [Cup-Integrated Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairingware.md) - [Happy Desk Salad Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-desk-salad-kits.md) - [Specialty Meatball Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatball-plate.md) - [Playful Thanksgiving Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lie-pie.md) - [Stackable Magnetic Dinnerwares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-windsor-magware-magnetic-bowls-and-plates.md) - [Nutritious Cafe Meal Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pret-a-manger-super-plates.md) - [Handheld QSR Salad Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pita-pit-salad-shakers.md) - [Meatless Ready-to-Heat Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-heat-meal.md)
