Theres no denying it anymore people who are ostensibly adults are completely over the moon for unnaturally colored and/or sparkly food named after mythical beings.

If this wasnt already apparent before, the booming popularity of Starbucks suspiciously bright unicorn frappuccino which is reportedly a huge pain for baristas to make and doesnt even taste that great should seal the deal.

But it may be time for unicorns to hoof it to the sidelines, as theres a new fairy tale-based food item in town so-called mermaid toast. Mermaid toast features brightly dyed spreads and sparkly garnishes like gold leaf, and its having a real mer-ment. The snack can also be called unicorn toast, but what seems to set mermaid toast apart is blue-green shades and a vaguely aquatic/ocean theme.

This week, Vogue dubbed it Instagrams most magical food trend and credited food stylist Adeline Waugh as being behind the fashionable snack.
