17 adorable enamel pins perfect for expressing your obsession with food
We. Love. Food.
There is no denying this fact. From food's humble beginnings as something we all need to survive, it has developed into something that pretty much counts as a hobby now, whether it's eating it, making it, or taking pictures of it.
Luckily for us, there are all sorts of ways we can display our love of food, from clothing to cute accessories. And here we've created a list of some of the best food pins you can purchase on the internet. Why? Because pins are making a huge comeback. And we just discussed how food is probably the best part of 2017, food and dogs.
So please, enjoy these small enamel versions of some food items we all love.
1. Doritos pin
Don't lie -- the junk chip of our childhood is often still the junk chip that you reach for. Doritos go way back for pretty much all of us. The only question that remains is whether you are team Nacho Cheese or team Cool Ranch. This pin is clearly team cheese, so ranch folks should just keep scrolling.
Price: $9
2. Top ramen pin
Who doesn't have a fond memory of Top Ramen? Whether it was the hip snack you ate dry and still in the packaging in school or the only thing you could afford to eat in college, instant ramen occupies a special place in everyone's hearts and minds. We are forever thankful for you, ramen.
Price: $7
3. Pizza pin
You had a feeling that you'd see pizza on this list, didn't you? Of course you would. We're not in the business of disappointing our readers. Pizza is life.
Price: $9.50
4. Pierogi pin
Many cultures have foods where something is wrapped in dough and then either fried, baked, or boiled. And we are not complaining. Frankly, all of those different versions of dumplings are delicious and they each deserve a pin, like this cute pierogi pin here.
Price: $6.15
5. Tostada pin
You better believe that all the most popular Mexican dishes have their own enamel pin just waiting for Mexican food lovers to pick up and put on. This one is of the delicious tostada, and you know it's anatomically accurate because it was made in collaboration with a restaurant that serves tostadas.
Price: $10
6. Nachos pin
Bar food, ballgame food, appetizer food, food food. Nachos fit all of the previous categories, and they are delicious. If you have a passion for dipping tortilla chips in melted cheese, this is the pin for you.
Price: $10
7. Taco pin
Everyone has one friend who is obsessed with finding and eating the best taco in the world. You know the one. Give this taco pin to that friend and say, "I just found the best taco in the world. Now you own it." Hopefully that will get them to stop obsessively talking about tacos.
Price: $8
8. Pho pin
Pho is one of the most satisfying foods to consume. There's nothing quite like a large steaming bowl of delicious broth and noodles, exfoliating your face while simultaneously filling your body up with good warmness. Pho doesn't feel quite the same in pin form, but at least you'll be reminded of what it's actually like every time you look at it.
Price: $10
9. Sarawak laksa pin
Sarawak laksa is a noodle dish from Malaysia, one that Anthony Bourdain is obsessed with. He famously put it on a list of foods he feels people "need and deserve." But his opinion isn't what matters here, yours is. If you also love Sarawak laksa, get yourself one of these pins.
Price: $6.50
10. Sushi omakase pin set
When you eat sushi, you can't eat just one. You want lots of sushi. You want the whole menu of sushi. You want the entire omakase. This pin set takes that exact approach, because having just one piece of sushi is dumb.
Price: $40
11. Chicken and waffles pin set
Chicken and waffles are the pinnacle of weird food combos gone absolutely right, so right in fact that there's the cliché about going together like chicken and waffles. That's exactly what this pin set is all about. We think you're supposed to keep one and give the other to the person who is your other half, but you can also just keep both because why not.
Price: $14
12. Fried egg pin
The simple, humbleness of the fried egg often goes unnoticed and under-appreciated. But it truly deserves more. A staple of brunches, sandwiches, ramen, and burgers everywhere, use this pin to show your respect for the venerable veteran of the food world.
Price: $5.98
13. Pickle pin
Pickles have contributed much to the food world. No sandwich feels complete without one. Burgers feel more dynamic when they are included. You too can add some salty juiciness to your outfit with this pickle pin.
Price: $8
14. Avocado pin
The search for the perfect avocado pin is about as illusive as the search for the best avocado toast. Luckily, we think we've found it with this beautiful enamel pin, capturing all the beauty we see and adoration we feel for this singular food item.
Price: $10.08
15. Beet pin
You can't have bears and Battlestar Galactica in your life without the beets. Celebrate this fine vegetable with this equally fine pin. Alternatively, it also makes the perfect present for the Dwight Schrute in your life.
Price: $10
16. S'mores pin
We owe whoever invented the delicious combo of graham crackers, melted marshmallow, and chocolate a huge favor, because s'mores are one of the greatest desserts, whether you are actually camping or not. So wear it on your shirt, whether you are camping or not.
Price: $9
17. Bubble tea pin
Bubble (boba) tea is a beverage that has almost a cult following. Once you're hooked, you're hooked and there are plenty of bubble tea shops out there to satisfy your craving, offering a wide variety of styles and flavors. With this enamel pin, you can take a little bubble tea with you wherever you go. Nothing sounds better than that.
