    This has been a thing for decades, it’s nothing new. It’s a fun novelty for children…

  2. The AI art bothers me more than the concept of this candy ever would

    My boys loved these for Christmas. 

  4. Wow I remember something like this when I was a kid in the US.. I forgot the brand but you held a button and a song would play and it was a lollipop.. wow how stupid

  5. NothingEffective5070

    The better question is why is this packaged like a vape?

    I was gonna say tooth tubes was a scam two, you don’t feel music through your teeth it was just play music. All these devices are just little speakers

    I tried it it’s actually pretty good but the whole music thing is stupid

    Not this exact brand, but these have been a thing at least since the 90’s, I remember them being around when I was a kid.

    It’s just vibrational transfer audio, like those running headphones. Honestly kind of a cool sciencey toy for a kid.

    Humans buy stupid shit like this. *That* is why it’s a thing.

    I remember these back in the 90s called “Sound Bites”. It’s neat when you’re a kid.

    But I hate the AI packaging on this. Temu garbage for sure.

    I actually think this would be a really fun science project for kids. But some mom would ruin with some anti-sugar freak out and ruin it for everyone.

    Because I guess some people thought we didn’t have enough e waste.

    I’ve always wondered what deaf people thought of these. Been around for soooo long

    I actually think this is super cool! I work as an audiologist thought. You can hear the sounfs through bone conduction :]

    Those have come and gone since the 90’s, they usually don’t last so that is the good news.

    These things got slated everywhere after they were at CES. Irreplaceable one time use battery and plastic that’s just designed to be thrown away

  19. Thom Yorke said on BBC that In Rainbows was written specifically to be listened to via audiopop. so OP please don’t write them off as a gimmick.

    this would be more interesting if it had bluetooth

    My mother bought this before, naturally with ai art

    All it does is put ring around the rosy on the inside stick of the lollipop and play it and thats about it

  22. Calm_Link_

    With ai box “art” for extra shittyness

    God forbid people make fun novelty candy
