It’s the Zeitgeist, Baby

posted by virginia Dec 10th, 2009

We here at Picnik are always paying attention to new trends in the internet world. So every year the Google Zeitgeist is of interest to us Team Picnikers. For instance this year, the second fastest rising search term in Food & Drink is “picnic”.

picnik-vs-picnic

Number 1 on the zeitgeist is “acai berry”, which of course Oprah was big into this year. Number 6 is “peanut butter recall” and boy, do we we remember getting the call from Costco to pack up our precious Clif Bars. So most of the things on this list had some major media event behind it during 2009, except for “picnic.”

We here at Picnik think this is lovely. It could be that “picnic” rising so suddenly in Google searches signifies a return to simple pleasures, time spent with friends and family together, in a field, on a blanket, buttering sandwiches and picking blackberries. We had one or two picnics ourselves during the past year, in fact. Or maybe they just needed a photo editor! Happy Picniking!
