Manufactured by the American '[Fred & Friends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chomp)' design brand, these [porcelain plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monte-porcelain) come equipped with a built-in mirror. Each 'SMILE' set includes two 8-inch plates that are made of white porcelain. In the center of each plate is a small mirror with the words "Anything stuck in my teeth?" written underneath. With a centered mirror on each plate, the consumer is given the chance to check their teeth for any pesky food left behind. The 'Fred & Friends' mirror plates can be eaten off of or hung on display. They also serve as the perfect dishware for any at-home dinner dates or parties. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Mirror-equipped Dishware:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for kitchenware companies to add mirror-equipped dishware for consumer convenience. - **Dual-purpose Home Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for home product companies to create dual-purpose products that can be used practically and for display purposes. - **Innovative Tableware:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for tableware companies to create innovative and unique products that emphasize consumer convenience and practicality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchenware:** A disruptive innovation opportunity for kitchenware companies to create more unique dishware with added features. - **Home Decor:** A disruptive innovation opportunity for home decor companies to incorporate more practical and innovative products that can be used for both display and function. - **Tableware:** A disruptive innovation opportunity for tableware companies to incorporate more consumer convenience into their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cup-Integrated Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairingware.md) - [Interactive Mealtime Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platoo-interactive-sensory-meal-plate.md) - [Luxurious Patterned Ceramic Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patterned-ceramic-plates.md) - [Dual-Sided Teeth Brighteners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smile-perfector-duo.md) - [Removable Plate Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gere-multifunctional-crockery-shelf.md) - [Glowing Oral Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platinum-pro-glow-teeth.md) - [Colorful Retro Pixel Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-mirror.md) - [Jewelry-Holding Flower Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirror-vase-stand.md) - [Specialty Meatball Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatball-plate.md)
