To promote a new wrapper design that's easier to open, Chupa Chups created Chupa Chups Impossible, a limited-edition release that stops fans from getting at what's inside. The impenetrable lollipops, described as the "final boss of Chupa Chups," are encased in a carbon composite shell, wrapped in aramid fibres, coated in silicon carbide and finally, dipped in liquid rubber—altogether, it's blade-proof and flame-proof, which select influencers have already put to the test.
The new Chupa Chups wrappers are already popping up in key markets and are set to be widely available by the end of the year. As such, the iconic lollipop brand is inviting people to participate in the #ChupaSpeedChallenge and see how quickly they can unwrap the easier-to-open wrapper that they've been asking for.

2. Confectionery and Snacking - Confectionery brands experimenting with packaging theatrics indicate potential to segment offerings by experiential attributes rather than just flavor or price.
