# Shark-Inspired Desserts Cold Stone Creamery's Shark Ice Cream is a Chilling Shark Week Celebration By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-ice-cream References: [coldstonecreamery](http://www.coldstonecreamery.com/sharkweek/) & [chicagonow](http://www.chicagonow.com/tween-us/2014/08/sshark-week-products-and-promotions/) To get people excited about the start of this year's Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, Cold Stone Creamery released a shark ice cream treat that will put the same kind of chill in you that a shark encounter would. The Shark Week Frenzy ice cream is made up of blue ice cream and sprinkled with graham crackers so that it looks like the sea and the coast. On top of this, the ice cream includes several swimming gummy sharks for another bite of sweetness. In addition to the shark-inspired ice cream, Cold Stone Creamery also has a Great Blue Cupcake that features wavy ice cream and gummy sharks that look to be circling the tops of the ocean—too bad for them, they won't be the first to bite. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 47% | 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) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Shark-inspired Desserts:** Opportunity for ice cream companies to create unique and thematic desserts inspired by popular cultural events. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Ice Cream:** Ice cream companies can capitalize on themed desserts to attract customers and create excitement around their brand. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shark Attack-Themed Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-bite-creme-freeze.md) - [Gummy Shark-Garnished Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-bait-lemonade.md) - [Shark-Themed Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-assortment.md) - [Sea Creature-Inspired Cupcakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-cupcake.md) - [Shark-Themed Dirty Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ziggis-coffee-bad-bruce.md) - [Indulgent Ice Cream Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-stone-creamery-ultimate-summer-menu.md) - [Coast-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beach-day-ice-cream.md) - [Animation-Themed Ice Cream Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-stone-and-despicable-me-4.md) - [Cookie-Themed Ice Cream Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-stone-creamery-summer-treats.md)
