Imagine biting into a lollipop and suddenly hearing music in your head. One of the weirdest and strangest gadgets to appear at CES 2026 is the Lollipop Star, a real, edible lollipop that also works as a speaker. Yes, it plays music while you eat it.
Created by Lava Brands, the Lollipop Star is exactly what it sounds like: a sugary treat with bone conduction technology baked right in that turns snack time into a little personal concert.
How Lollipop Star turns your jaw into a speaker
The magic happens through bone conduction as the Lollipop Star sends vibrations through your teeth and jaw, which then travel directly to your inner ear. The hardware is located inside the lollipop stick, with a small button at the base to turn it on. Bite down gently and the music suddenly feels like it’s playing in your head.
Each lollipop comes preloaded with a song and is associated with a specific flavor and artist. For example, Ice Spice is available as a peach, Akon as a blueberry and Armani White as a lime.
This fun and tasty piece of technology isn’t meant to replace your headphones, and Lava doesn’t pretend otherwise. The Lollipop Star is designed as a novel experience, something to be enjoyed for a few minutes, rather than a speaker or headphones that you carry with you for years.
At $9 per lollipop, the price is suitable for impulse purchases, especially for music fans or anyone who loves bizarre technology. The Lollipop Star is expected to launch shortly after CES and will be available on its website and at select retailers.
