I always love it when fad diets make it into non-food related products, and you get Atkins socks or whatever.

Or better yet when a fad diet happens and foods that never had whatever evil ingredient in the first place add "Now Oxygen Free" or whatever branding. My favorite was the explosion of "suddenly" gluten-free cider.

And on the flipside, there are those that aren't actually what they say.

For example, my local store has "vegan turkey" right now, supposedly a meatless turkey alternative, but it still has quite a bit of animal product in it.

Goes to show what a difference it makes while also screwing up the market.
