Is the next big business idea from...food fatigue?

Does the shape of food matter? And what foods would benefit from a different shape? We're tired of breakfast bars and protein bars, so what other food formats might work? And is it possible to create a healthy, tasty, almost-complete meal in a portable, convenient form? Chewing gum flavors are boring. We have amazing choices for flavored seltzers, so why not chewing gum? It's a lot of work planning a big party so a beverage ordering and delivery service would make it much easier. Cocktail anyone? Fast food desserts: Why isn't this a thing?! Just think: A restaurant specializing in deep-fried desserts like fried ice cream, fried candy bars, fried apple pie... Yum. A device for testing food at restaurants for food-borne pathogens? Is this science fiction? Or maybe it's a helper app for people with food intolerances?
