2. Ingredient Mixing - Using ingredients from one meal and converting them into another offers a new and exciting culinary experience, encouraging consumers to experiment with their options.
3. Combining Breakfast and Lunch - Combining elements of breakfast and lunch to create breakfast sandwiches and brunch options allows consumers the opportunity to try something new and exciting.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - This industry can capitalize on these trends by creating new products that offer convenience, combine flavors, and offer breakfast-lunch combinations.
2. Hospitality - Restaurants can use these trends to create new and exciting menu options crafted with a relatively simple mix of ingredients to encourage guest to experiment or enjoy something familiar in a new way.
