The mesh shorts are available for sale on e-retailer Shop Jeen and are a great way to take part in fashion's [nostalgic obsession with the 90s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nostalgic-snacks). These oversized vending machine shorts feature a photo print of various candy and chip flavours that include [Ruffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridgewear), Hersey's and Lays among others. The junkfood snack packages have been humorously renamed with their "Ratchet", "Hashtag" and "Laid" substitutes. This eye-catching garment is sure to spark up conversation not only for its vending machine print but also for its humorous rebranding of popular [chip and candy snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huemn). The statement shorts can be worn as a unisex item that is a nod to 90s styling. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Snack-inspired Fashion:** The trend of incorporating snack foods into fashion creates an opportunity for food and fashion industries to collaborate and provide new and innovative designs. - **Nostalgic Fashion:** The nostalgia for the 90s creates an opportunity for fashion industry to innovate by incorporating 90s style into modern fashion design. - **Humorous Rebranding:** Humorous rebranding of products creates an opportunity for companies to add humor and personality to their marketing strategies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can incorporate snack-inspired designs and 90s nostalgia to create new and innovative clothing pieces. - **Food:** Food industry can collaborate with fashion industry to create snack-inspired clothing designs that promote brands and increase customer engagement. - **Marketing:** Marketing industry can incorporate humorous rebranding into their strategies to increase brand awareness and customer engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Snack-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lays-x-saucony.md) - [Nostalgic Snack-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-and-cheetos.md) - [Potato Chip-Brand Streetwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridgewear.md) - [Snack-Inspired Roll-Top Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheezit-snapd-back-bag.md) - [Chip Brand-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huemn.md) - [Nostalgic Snack Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nostalgic-snacks.md) - [Optimized Movie-Goer Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snack-jacket.md) - [Snack-Stashing Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pringles-x-crocs.md) - [Protective Snacking Pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreida-totprotecting-pants.md)
