Imagine biting into a lollipop and suddenly hearing music inside your head. One of the strangest and most oddly delightful gadgets to pop up 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 tech baked right in, turning snack time into a tiny 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 placed inside the lollipop’s stick, with a small button at the base to turn it on. Bite down gently, and the music suddenly feels like it’s playing inside your head.
Each lollipop is preloaded with a song and paired with a specific flavor and artist. For instance, Ice Spice comes in peach, Akon arrives as blueberry, and Armani White shows up as lime.
This fun and tasty piece of tech is not meant to replace your headphones, and Lava is not pretending otherwise. The Lollipop Star is designed as a novelty experience, something you enjoy for a few minutes rather than a speaker or headphones that you keep around for years.
At $9 per lollipop, it is priced to be impulse-buy friendly, especially for music fans, or anyone who loves bizarre tech. The Lollipop Star is expected to launch shortly after CES and will be available on it’s website and through select retailers.
