# Triceratops Tex-Mex Tableware The TriceraTACO Taco Holder is Great for Getting Picky Kids Excited By Joey Haar | Published 2017-04-20 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricerataco References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2017/04/19/tricerataco-dinosaur-taco-holder/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [amazon](https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B01LZNTN8S/?tag=trenhunt0f-20) As if taco night weren't exciting enough on its own, KidsFunwares' TriceraTACO taco holder adds some prehistoric adventure to the meal. The creative piece of tableware is shaped like the dinosaur from which it derives its name, giving kids a fun toy to include in family Tex-Mex night. As the TriceraTACO [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sos-kit) page so astutely notes, "[Kids love dinosaurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dino-adventure-pack), and kids love tacos," so the match is a strong one. The playful taco holder might also be the perfect addition for families with picky kids, since the triceratops can distract them from their feelings about the food itself. The TriceraTACO is made out of polypropylene plastic, so it's completely food and dishwasher safe. Each TriceraTACO has two grooves that can hold one taco each. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dinosaur-inspired Food Holders:** There is a trend towards designing household goods and utensils inspired by prehistoric creatures. - **Novelty Food Presentation:** Using creative and fun tableware is a trend that elevates food presentation and can enhance the dining experience. - **Kid-friendly Designs:** Designing products with a child's perspective in mind is a trend that can lead to increased interest in food and better mealtime experiences for the whole family. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchenware Industry:** There are opportunities in the kitchenware industry to develop creative, playful, and themed utensils for households. - **Food Packaging Industry:** The food packaging industry can explore the use of creative and fun designs to elevate food presentation and make mealtime more enjoyable. - **Toy Industry:** There is potential for the toy industry to create toys that double as utensils to enhance the dining experience and make mealtime more fun for kids. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dinosaur-Inspired Cat Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dino-bowl.md) - [Leather Taco Holsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bellt.md) - [Playful Food-Themed Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-vs-burrito.md) - [Taco-Shaped Translation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-translation-device.md) - [Digital Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bitzee-jurassic-world.md) - [Sculptural Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces.md) - [Interactive Hatching Dinosaur Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-toys.md) - [Dinosaur-Themed Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-fossils-triceratops-skull.md) - [Aquatic Amphibian Children's Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tacos-frog.md)
