Novelty items are often fun and playful without any real uses but this novelty set will help dieters around the world take their diets a bit more seriously, and in a humorous way. The gag set was made by Bigmouth toys, a brand that often specializes in novelty gifts like this one. The novelty cutlery set only features two pieces -- a [fork and a knife](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finger-lickin-2), but they're very different than the norm. This set features a spoon that has a whole cut out of the middle and a fork that looks to have had the prongs on the top cut off. This gift will help dieters maintain their diet by making them unable to use the cutlery to eat at all. This novelty cutlery just screams tough love -- in the funniest way possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Humorous Novelty Dieting Aids:** Products that add a touch of humor and whimsy to the often strict and unyielding world of dieting. - **Innovative Dietary Tools:** Tools that use creative and unique methods to help individuals achieve their dietary goals. - **Forced Self-restraint Products:** Products that impose limitations and restrictions on users in order to promote self-discipline and healthy habits. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchen and Dining:** The market for creative and unconventional kitchen gadgets and tools that improve overall dining experiences. - **Health and Wellness:** The industry for products and services that promote health and well-being, including dietary aids and lifestyle guides. - **Gifts and Novelties:** The industry for fun and playful gifts that provide a humorous take on daily tasks and experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flatpack Metal Utensil Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uphold-cutlery.md) - [Aesthetically Pleasing Cutlery Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-utensil-set.md) - [Taste-Adjusting Chopsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tasteadjusting-chopsticks.md) - [Interchangeable All-in-One Cutlery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinchy-cutlery.md) - [Fashionable Fusion Cutlery Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rething-cutlery.md) - [Ergonomic Instant Noodle Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-x-nissin-the-fork.md) - [Hand-Shaped Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finger-lickin-fork.md) - [Wearable QSR Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-finger-sporks.md) - [Salt-Mimicking Kitchenwares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bowl-and-spoon.md)
