# Cute Carb-Loaded Memo Pads The Pukka/Dank 'Sliced Bread Notebook' is the Next Best Thing By Regan Canie | Published 2012-01-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pukka-dank-sliced-bread-notebook References: [lookslikegooddesign](http://lookslikegooddesign.com/sliced-bread-notebook-kaynak/) & [pukkadank](http://www.pukkadank.com/products/sliced-bread-notebook) When it comes to [clever creations that mock everyday foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borden-grilled-cheese-swatch-book), it’s undeniable that the Pukka/Dank ‘Sliced Bread Notebook’ is a quaint and cute play on the age-old ‘greatest invention’ idiom. The set of divided [memo-pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system) includes 12 separate [bread-slice booklets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warburtons-baked-baggage) that are filled with blank paper, so that you can jot down your genius quotable gems or doodles of your pre-patented designs each month of the year. The packaged product is whimsically wrapped in a clear twist-tied plastic bread bag that even comes complete with nutrition facts and serving instructions on the side. Even though chopped-up complex carbohydrates continuously take the win for best idea ever, the Pukka/Dank ‘Sliced Bread Notebook’ is content with being the non-edible novelty knock-off. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Clever Food-inspired Stationery:** The trend of creating stationery products that mimic everyday foods presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the novelty gift market. - **Unique Packaging Design:** The trend of whimsically packaging products like memo-pads in clear twist-tied plastic bread bags opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the packaging industry for novelty items. - **Hybrid Products:** The trend of combining different products, such as sliced bread and notebooks, offers disruptive innovation opportunities for creative and functional merchandise. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Novelty Gift Industry:** The novelty gift industry can capitalize on the trend of clever food-inspired stationery by creating unique and playful products that appeal to consumers looking for humorous and functional gifts. - **Packaging Industry:** The packaging industry can embrace the trend of whimsical packaging design by offering innovative and eye-catching packaging solutions for novelty items like memo-pads. - **Merchandise Industry:** The merchandise industry can explore the trend of hybrid products by developing creative and unique items that combine different functions and objects, attracting consumers seeking unconventional and practical products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cubic Minimalist Memo Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memo-block.md) - [Japanese Bento-Inspired Stationery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bento-jot.md) - [Cheeky Food-Made Beauty Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spoof-beauty-range.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Self-Referential Sandwich Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandwich-maker-concept.md) - [Realistic Bread-Inspired Sofas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-loafa.md) - [Snack-Themed Textbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fundamental-textbooks.md) - [Cardboard-Resembling Illusion Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cardboard-cake.md) - [Leather-Bound Connected Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-notebooks.md)
