10 Food Trends We Hope To Leave Behind In 2023 - Daily Meal

When taking tequila shots, some people put a pinch of salt on the back of their hands. They lick the salt off immediately before taking the tequila shot to decrease its burn. Now imagine if someone did the same thing but with caviar. As detailed by The New York Times, that's the method of consuming "caviar bumps," one of 2022's most viral (and controversial) food trends. Despite the name's association with recreational drugs, there isn't any snorting being done here. But to some people, that doesn't make caviar bumps any more appealing.

Although caviar is celebrated for its rich, delicious, and unique flavor — this trend was not completely well received. Caviar's famously high price point seems to get ignored in videos promoting the caviar bumps. Of course, this seems to be intentional. In one caviar bump video, well-dressed individuals crowd over a white tablecloth, a dollop of caviar in each of their hands. Many of their wrists are decorated with flashy-looking watches. The flex that's happening in this video is not lost on anyone. The top comment (at the time of writing) says, "rich people things."

You can expect to pay around $60 for a 1-ounce container of caviar when ordering online. Per Black Diamond Caviar, that's approximately 4 to 5 teaspoons. Even if you split a low-priced caviar between friends, you'll still pay more than most appetizers for one bite of food. For the boastful and exclusive tone of this trend, we say stop with the caviar bump videos.
