Now on the menu at Ample Hills Creamery are three new superhero-themed flavors that pay tribute to Captain America, the [Black Panther](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-mills-marvel-fruit-snacks) and Spider-Man. These special pints are wrapped in containers that are complete with their own mini-comics that will capture the hearts of comic book fans, as well as those who have been drawn in by the latest superhero movies. While the purple-tinged Black Panther ice cream boasts "single-origin Wakandan chocolate fudge," the flavor inspired by Spider-Man is based around cherry pie and Captain America's sweet treat boasts decadent cake pieces, chocolate pudding ribbons and a vanilla base. In 2019, the year of Marvel's milestone anniversary, fans have been treated to a range of new movies like Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame and as of today, Spider-man: Far From Home is now hitting theaters. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - 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 - **Superhero-themed Food:** Opportunities exist for food companies to create other superhero-themed food items inspired by popular comics and movies. - **Interactive Packaging:** Packaging innovations that include AR/VR technology could be integrated with products to provide an interactive user experience. - **Fan Engagement:** Creative ways to engage with fans can lead to increased loyalty and brand recognition for companies that offer unique, limited edition items influenced by popular culture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Food and beverage companies have the potential to capitalize on the trend towards novel and fun, superhero-themed products, inspired by popular movies and comics. - **Packaging Design:** As consumers are looking for more interactive and engaging packaging experiences, opportunities exist for packaging design companies to incorporate AR/VR technology into their designs. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Companies that offer creatively themed and limited edition versions of products tied to popular culture and entertainment franchises can captivate fans, boost their market share and overall brand awareness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Family-Focused Frozen Treat Lineups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chloes-frozen-pops.md) - [Movie-Inspired Blackberry Shakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibranium-shake.md) - [Cooling Superhero Candy Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvels-avengers-12count-assorted-tray.md) - [Superhero-Themed Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinkle-mini-cookies.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Fruit Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-mills-marvel-fruit-snacks.md) - [Superhero-Themed Mac-and-Cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-panther-boxes.md) - [Better-For-You Frozen Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chloes.md) - [Superhero Nutritional Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myprotein-captain-america.md) - [Superhero Chocolate Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mms-and-marvel.md)
