2016: The Year The Rainbow Took Over Our Food

Fairy Bread

Popular among Australian children for ages, the rise of fairy bread has caught the internet by storm. Adding to the list of colored foods that seem to be popular just for their looks and whimsy, fairy bread has been copied by many non-Australians in the year 2016.

It simply consists of buttered slices of plain white bread topped with some form of sprinkles. Originally a staple at children’s parties, people have now been indulging in this treat as a breakfast, dessert, or even just a snack. Because of its delicious simplicity, many have tried to recreate it for themselves and it has even been dubbed “a hipster food,” much to the chagrin of Australians who think Americans are complicating something that was truly just meant for children.
