# Nail Picks & Finger Plates Creative Party Snacks from WorldWideFred By Cowbag | Published 2008-07-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-picks-make-your-cheese-pineapple-look-hard References: [worldwidefred](http://www.worldwidefred.com/pound.htm) I love online store WorldWideFred.com so much that I grouped together some of the most awesome party related goodies. 1. Party picks with a difference: Hard core nails, and a wooden block. Love them. It also makes cheese and pineapple look hardcore which quite frankly rules. 2. Very groovy [finger food plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-tigress). I doubt they would work as effectively as demonstrated in the picture, but it is a cool idea. 3. The [swizzle sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-cocktail-trio) are finally a non-tacky solution to stirring drinks. 4. Skull and cross bone [ice cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-ice-sets) - not quite as awesome as Gin and Titonic (which will win every time on the name) but the Bone Chillers still rock. 5. And ouch, I love the pick holder which I could imagine would be especially useful if you had a row with a partner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Creative Party Picks:** Innovative party food picks made from unconventional materials like hard core nails provide an opportunity for disruption in the party supplies industry. - **Unique Drink Stirrers:** Non-tacky drink stirrers like the swizzle sticks showcased offer potential for disruptive innovation within the bar supplies industry. - **Novel Ice Cube Trays:** Original ice cube trays like the skull and cross bone Bone Chillers present opportunities for disruptive innovation in the beverage and novelty items industries. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Party Supplies:** New and unique party picks and food plates provide an avenue for disruption within the party supplies industry. - **Bar Supplies:** The creation of non-tacky and expressive drink stirrers presents disruptive potential within the bar supplies industry. - **Novelty Items:** Innovative ice cube trays like the Bone Chillers offer opportunities for disruption in the novelty items industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fish Lover Snacking Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinned-fish.md) - [Cheese-Shaped Charcuterie Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cheese-block-with-knife.md) - [Artsy Serving Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoresin-accented-cheese-and-charcuterie-serving-boards.md) - [Crinkle Fry-Inspired Clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fries-clips.md) - [Stylish Bar Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-accessories.md) - [Humorous Holiday Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-host-collection.md) - [All-in-One Eco Party Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knork-eco-party-plate.md) - [Elevated Aperitivo Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aperitivo-set.md) - [Cup-Integrated Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairingware.md)
