EDC Condiment
Brands are launching portable condiment bottles for on-the-go flavoring
Trend - Companies are debuting everyday carry (EDC) condiments to enable consumers to add flavors to any meal or snack. These bottles are durable and hold less than 2oz of topping, so as not to add weight to the consumers' bags. These products are aimed at foodies who want to enhance regular meals.

Insight - For foodies and health-minded consumers, the ability to ensure food is both flavorful and healthy is paramount. The need for specific combinations between flavor and function, as well as the desire to share flavors with companions, leads many foodies to prepare their own meals rather than ordering food while away from home. Brands are recognizing this diverse set of desires and are responding by launching more convenient on-the-go solutions for flavor or nutrient enhancement.
Workshop Question - How could your brand adapt its food products to better address modern convenience culture?
