# Banana Peel-Inspired Popsicles The Wonka Peel-A-Pop Looks Like Something of Pure Imagination By Megan Facciuolo | Published 2014-05-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peelapop References: [foodbeast](http://www.foodbeast.com/2014/05/15/funsies-willy-wonkas-new-peel-popsicles-look-like-purple-candy-bananas/) & [wonkaicecream](http://www.wonkaicecream.com/) [Wonka](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-fudge-and-toffee-apple), a [Nestle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nestl-sharing-bags) subsidiary brand based off of the Roald Dahl book and film franchise, is revealing its new treat called the Peel-A-Pop at a pop-up shop in New York this weekend. The treat is ice-cream based, but actually looks like a banana on a stick. The deceiving ice-cream pop is coated in [chewy candy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolli-gummi-pops) that is "peel-able." It comes in two flavors: Vanilla Banana and Vanilla Grape. The ice-cream tube is vanilla, while all the flavoring comes from the coating -- which is presumably types of Wonka Laffy Taffy. Willy Wonka is the most innovative fictional candy makers of all time, so it's amazing to see his whimsical creations come to life -- lets just hope the Snozzberry stays fictional. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Whimsical Desserts:** Creating imaginative and playful desserts may help brands stand out and attract attention from consumers. - **Edible Packaging:** Innovative food packaging made with edible materials can reduce waste and enhance the consumer experience. - **Novelty Treats:** Developing fun and unique treats with unexpected flavors and textures can create a loyal fan base and generate buzz on social media. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Companies in the food and beverage industry can develop new and exciting products to keep up with consumer demand for novelty and innovation. - **Packaging:** Businesses in the packaging industry can create sustainable and edible packaging solutions to meet the needs of food producers and reduce environmental impact. - **Entertainment:** Amusement parks and other entertainment companies can offer creative and whimsical treats to enhance the immersive experience for guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon-Inspired Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spongebob-squarepants-pops.md) - [Candy-Flavored Popsicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bomb-pop-nerds.md) - [Mythically Inspired Ice Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-twist-pops.md) - [Tongue-Dyeing Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twister-berrylicious.md) - [Liquid-Filled Candy Ice Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rowntrees-ice-lollies.md) - [Kid-Created Freezer Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jel-sert-and-crayola.md) - [Dipped Frozen Banana Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-banana-bites.md) - [Tactile Peelable Fruit Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huer-peels.md) - [Miniature Creamy Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minis-with-cream.md)
