Hot Topsy

Hot Topsy (noun): a tantalising yet disappointing garnish or finger food, typically consisting of a small amount of cheese or other topping on a cracker or piece of bread. While Hot Topsy may appear enticing and flavorful, it often fails to live up to expectations, leaving the consumer feeling unsatisfied and let down. The term is derived from the idea of a topsy-turvy experience, in which something seems exciting or promising at first, but ultimately turns out to be lacklustre.

"I was so excited for the charcuterie board, but all we got were these Hot Topsy crackers with a tiny bit of cheese on them."
