Overview
- Lava Tech’s single-use Lollipop Star uses bone conduction to send music from the candy through the teeth to the inner ear.
- A ZDNET reporter at Pepcom confirmed audible playback by positioning the lollipop at the back of the mouth and biting lightly with molars, noting the sound was quiet.
- At launch, three flavor–artist pairings are offered: Blue Paradise with Akon’s “Beautiful Day,” White Peach and Strawberry with Ice Spice tracks, and Lime Sea Salt with Armani White’s “Mount Pleasant.”
- The product is listed for purchase on the Lollipop Star website for $8.99, positioning it as a novelty confection with embedded electronics.
- The booth drew heavy crowds at CES, while the single-use design raised sustainability questions that will likely follow broader availability.
