The 'ScoopTHAT! II' ice cream scooper is made with a naturally biodegradable liquid built right into the handle that cleverly collects natural ambient heat. As you scoop up the [frozen treat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-treat1), the heat is transferred from the handle to the widened scoop with no electricity required, allowing you to dig into the ice cream much easier than a conventional ice cream scoop. The scoop bowl itself is also thermo-ring heated, features a [half spherical design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-ice-makers) and a non-stick coating to allow for a perfectly single serving every time you decide to indulge your sweet tooth. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 53% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Heated Utensils:** There's an opportunity to create naturally heated utensils that make handling frozen foods easier. - **Biodegradable Thermosetting:** Manufacturers can create products similar to ScoopTHAT!
