# Voodoo Toothpick-Trappers 'Voodoopizza' is an Attention-Seeking Toothpick Holder By Allison Love | Published 2010-05-06 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voodoopizza-toothpick-holder References: [designspotter](http://designspotter.com/product/2010/05/VoodooPizza-toothpick-holder.html) & [g-campana.ch](http://www.g-campana.ch/) The Voodoopizza toothpick holder is an interesting place to keep those stray toothpicks lying around (and by "interesting," I mean "slightly creepy"). The voodoopizza toothpick holder is inspired by [Italian culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crosta-mollica-vesuvio-pizza-bites) and the typical stereotypes of Italians in general. The voodoopizza toothpick holder is more of an abstract concept then it is a useful toothpick holder, as the design was conceived by 30 Italian designers who wanted to draw attention to Italian stereotypes. **Implications** - Consumers are fascinated with [voodoo products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neck-face-1) because it gives them a sense of empowerment and control over the world. Corporations may similarly appeal to consumers if they market their wares as empowering and helpful in stabling the lives of the products' user. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 21% | 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) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Regional](https://www.trendhunter.com/regional) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Voodoo Products:** Opportunity to tap into consumers' fascination with voodoo by creating unique and empowering products. - **Italian-inspired Designs:** Potential for incorporating Italian culture and stereotypes into various product designs. - **Abstract Concepts:** Creating products that are more than just functional, but also provoke thought and attention. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Opportunity to create unique and attention-grabbing home decor items. - **Food and Beverage:** Incorporating Italian-inspired designs into packaging and branding of food and beverage products. - **Fashion and Accessories:** Exploring abstract concepts and cultural influences in fashion and accessory designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dumpster Pencil Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dumpstuder-pencil-holders.md) - [Playful Speaker Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vear-holder.md) - [Multi-Functional Pasta Spoons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-pasta-spoon.md) - [Vampire-Inspired Kitchen Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-crusher.md) - [Pickle-Flavored Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-flavored-toothpaste.md) - [Pea-Inspired Whimsical Lighter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabletop-lighter.md) - [Sculptural Towel Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangled-joe.md) - [Humorous Italian Cuisine Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-taco.md) - [Pizza-Inspired Skincare Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-hubs-pizza-my-glow.md)
