Created by Baranova Marina at the HSE Art and Design School, the range is visually appealing based on its [black packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hagendazs-stickbars) that make the multicolored pastel ice pops appear brighter. The ice pop itself is modeled in the shape of the Easter Island monuments and the font and symbols printed on the packaging references the system of glyphs discovered at the archaeological site. Some of the enticing flavors included in the [concept ice cream range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popoff) include strawberry, lichi, orange, banana and ginger. Other more interesting, experimental flavors include paper, olives and cactus. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Monument-inspired Ice Pops:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Incorporating cultural inspiration into food branding and packaging to create visually appealing products. ### Where This Applies - **Food Packaging:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Developing unique packaging designs that visually represent the product and its cultural inspiration. - **Frozen Desserts:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Creating ice pops with unconventional flavors and shapes to cater to adventurous consumers. - **Branding and Design:** Disruptive Innovation Opportunity: Designing branding and packaging that pays homage to cultural heritage, creating a unique selling proposition. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Novelty Gelato Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelato-pop.md) - [Coffin-Shaped Ice Cream Tubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-alchemist-by-jdo.md) - [Street Art-Style Gummy Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummies.md) - [CPG-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ice-cream-project-anya-hindmarch.md) - [Ice Cream Popsicle Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/devoured-campaign.md) - [Lager Popsicle Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lager-popsicle.md) - [Lollipop-Themed Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freeze-pop.md) - [Sweet-and-Sour Ice Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bomb-pop-1.md) - [Popsicle-Flavored Toothpastes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-pop-toothpaste.md)
