It is an eco-friendly alternative to cheap plastic forks and spoons, and an easy-to-use improvement over other [spoon-fork-knife hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titanium-edc-tool) that require one tool to be folded out of the way before another can be used. The 77-gram product consists of a knife, fork and spoon that interlock and fit into a [compact 9 cm soft plastic case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuttix). The case itself is sealed shut with a zinc alloy lid that doubles as a bottle opener. The Picnic Cutlery case is so small that it can be hooked onto a key chain, with its 40 cm nylon strap keeping it from being misplaced. The Picnic cutlery set sells for US$49.50. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Cutlery:** Manufacturers can create more eco-friendly cutlery alternatives to cheap plastic utensils. - **Compact Utensil Design:** Designers can create new and innovative compact utensil designs for increased portability and convenience. - **Functional Hybrid Tools:** There is potential for creating new hybrid tools with multiple functions, such as incorporating a bottle opener into a cutlery set. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchenware and Utensil Manufacturing:** Manufacturers in the kitchenware and utensil industry can explore more eco-friendly materials and innovative design solutions for their products. - **Outdoor Recreation Retailing:** Retailers within the outdoor recreation industry can include compact and portable utensil sets as part of their product offerings. - **Food and Beverage Packaging:** Companies in the food and beverage packaging industry can incorporate compact cutlery and utensil sets into their eco-friendly packaging designs. ## 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) - [Interchangeable All-in-One Cutlery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinchy-cutlery.md) - [Card-Size Travel Cutlery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-cutlery.md) - [Durable Sustainable Cutlery Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lollo.md) - [Picnic-Ready Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victorinox-special-picknicker-damast.md) - [Dependable Rustic Camping Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opinel-grilling-set.md) - [Self-Sanitizing Titanium Cutlery Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-cutlery-set.md) - [Magnetic Titanium Utensil Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eati-mag.md)
