Basically, they are carbonated fruit soda water that is alcoholic and these items are so popular because not only are they sweeter than traditional beer, but then it also makes it less bloated for people to consume.

The fifth hottest trend and it is never going down is fried chicken. Who doesn't love fried chicken? It is comfort food and it is perfect for what's going on in the world today. In Vancouver, it seems like there's fried chicken opening up left-right center every single day. Whether it's Japanese fried chicken, whether it is Korean fried chicken or whether it is American fried chicken. Regardless of whatever chicken it is, it is super popular.

The sixth food trend you should definitely look into are sandos. What are sandos? Sandos are Japanese sandwiches and because Japanese are known for their craftiness, this trend is blowing up left-right and center.

The eighth and final food trend you should be looking out for are bobas. Bobas are basically bubble tea, tapioca, milk tea in a cup of goodness. Now I've been talking about this trend for a long, long time already and I'm not surprised that there's still one of the top food trends out there. However, it has evolved quite a bit whether it be turning into more of a popsicle dessert or bubble fan or even ice cream that has definitely evolved into other categories as well.
