Whipped coffee, PowerPoint parties, and bread baking are some of the micro-trends of quarantine. Isolated young consumers are baking their own bread and posting the results on social media, fueling a boom for the flour and yeast industry. Meanwhile, TikTok users are trying out Dalgona coffee, a beverage containing only three ingredients—instant coffee, sugar, and hot water—with a fluffy, aerated texture. And as young people find ways to “hangout” with their friends virtually, they’re throwing PowerPoint parties on Zoom, where the group chooses a topic and they each make a presentation on it. (Vox)
