CES 2026: Lollipop Star is a speaker that plays music through your teeth. Yes, really.
How does your music taste? Or, perhaps, how does your lollipop sound?
These have just become legit questions as one company just launched a lollipop at CES 2026 that doubles as a loudspeaker.
Called the Lollipop Star and created by a company called Lava Tech Brands (the company is based in the U.S., but the lollipops are made in China), this unusual combo isn't the type of speaker you buy once and use for years. Instead, they're affordable, quick, sweet bites that play a tune while you eat them.
The company said it's teamed up with global pop icons for the music, and that each Lollipop Star, priced at $8.99, will carry its own beat, flavor and vibe. Examples include a peach-flavored lollipop that plays music from Ice Spice, or a blueberry-flavored one that plays Akon.
So how does it work? Lollipop Star uses bone conduction tech to deliver the sound, with the electronics hidden in the stick. As you bite down on the lollipop, vibrations travel from your jaw to your inner ear. You probably shouldn't expect too much in terms of sound quality, but at nine bucks a piece, it won't break the bank, either. It's the type of product that makes it near impossible to say no to once your kids first encounter it.
Lollipop Star isn't available yet, but it should launch after CES. If you're interested, you can head on to the company's website and join the waitlist to get updates about the product.
