This [multi-leveled bowl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eternos-serving-bowl) is a life saver that allows you to store different foods in different sections while keeping it cold (BUT HOW!?). The bottom bowl section is an area to be [filled with ice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-lunch-box) that will keep your food (salad, cold cuts, etc.) fresh until it’s time to sit down and eat. Its [compact size](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeti-daytrip-coolers) also makes it easy to transport. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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's Driving This Trend - **Multileveled Food Containers:** Opportunity for innovation in creating portable food containers with multiple levels for storing different foods. - **Temperature-controlled Food Storage:** Disruptive innovation potential in developing portable food storage solutions that can keep different foods at different temperatures. - **Compact Picnic Accessories:** Potential for disruptive innovation in designing compact picnic accessories that are easy to transport. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food Storage Products:** Opportunity for innovation in the food storage industry by creating portable products that can keep food at different temperatures. - **Outdoor Dining Equipment:** Disruptive innovation potential in the outdoor dining equipment industry by developing compact accessories that enhance the picnic experience. - **Picnic and Outdoor Recreation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the picnic and outdoor recreation industry by creating innovative and practical products for outdoor dining. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Outdoor Dining Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savour-kit.md) - [Multifunctional Park Picnic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-picnic-furniture.md) - [Reusable Folding Storage Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calzone-tableware.md) - [Cup-Integrated Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairingware.md) - [Multipurpose Partitioned Packaging Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essentials-platter-design.md) - [Modular Serving Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish.md) - [Freezable Chill Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chill-board.md) - [All-in-One Eco Party Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knork-eco-party-plate.md) - [Multi-Functional Food Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-food-container.md)
