# Sweet Staring Suckers The Eyeball Lollipops are the Perfect Hard Candy for Halloween By Meghan Young | Published 2012-09-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeball-lollipops References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2012/09/eyeball-lollipops.html) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/103334366/eyeball-hard-candy-edible-images) It is not everyday that a person gets to lick an eyeball, let alone enjoy it, but thanks to the Eyeball Lollipops, that day has come for some. Unlike the salty taste real eyeballs would have, these suckers are sweet. A perfect candy to give out at Halloween, the Eyeball Lollipops would also make a great gift for those who have eye fetishes. Sold in packs of six, the Eyeball Lollipops come in [a variety of colors and flavours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chupa-chups-sour). Although all six must be the same when ordered. Individually wrapped and sealed, the Eyeball Lollipops are made to order. The image that rests in the center is interestingly edible, so a person can enjoy the whole eye. The only downside is having it stare menacingly as it is licked. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Edible Novelty Candies:** There is an opportunity to disrupt the confectionery industry by creating more unique and edible candy designs. - **Customizable Food Products:** Providing customizable options for food products like lollipops can engage customers and create a unique experience. - **Alternative Halloween Treats:** Introducing unconventional and themed candies like Eyeball Lollipops can offer a new and exciting choice for Halloween treats. ### Where This Applies - **Confectionery:** The confectionery industry can explore new opportunities by incorporating edible and visually appealing designs into their products. - **Food Gift Market:** In the food gift market, eye-themed candies like Eyeball Lollipops can cater to niche markets and attract customers looking for unique and quirky gifts. - **Holiday-themed Products:** Companies specializing in holiday-themed products, particularly for Halloween, can innovate by offering unconventional treats like Eyeball Lollipops. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spooky Popcorn Snack Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-kitchen-scary-eyes.md) - [Squishy Skull-Shaped Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swizzels-squashies-squeletons.md) - [Lickable Sour Candy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zed-candy.md) - [Fizzing Skull-Shaped Candy Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-sour-scary-skulls.md) - [Polarizing Hard Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malort-sucks.md) - [Frighteningly Festive Candy Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bazooka-candy-brands-halloween.md) - [Celebratory Lollipop Candy Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sees-candies-lollypalooza-box.md) - [Craft Cocktail Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-cocktail-lollipop.md) - [Better-For-You Halloween Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zolli-candy-seasonal-packaging.md)
