As its name suggests, the [ice lolly toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-ice-lolly) is capable of making music, depending on how the treat is licked. As the toy's creator describes: "When you hold the handle, it connects to your tongue and triggers the sounds." The toy comes in both DJ Boy or DJ Girl versions, offering different colors and sounds. The sounds and music emitted from the Perotto Ice Pop DJ Licking Music Toy comes from Korg. Although there are no ice pops included with the purchase of the product, the brand recommends avoiding the use of thick chocolate ice lollies when making one's own [frozen treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haribo-push-up) for play. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Musical Ice Lollies:** Opportunity for creating interactive and musical experiences with ice pops. - **Licking Technology:** Potential for developing toys and products that respond to specific movements or actions. - **Personalized Play:** Possibility to customize toys and experiences based on individual preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Toy Industry:** Innovation opportunities to create interactive and music-making toys. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Potential for developing unique, customizable frozen treats. - **Entertainment Industry:** Opportunity to incorporate interactive elements into music and entertainment experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebratory Audio Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tastysounds-audiolollipop.md) - [Gel-Infused Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chupa-chups-frooze-pop.md) - [Tongue-Dyeing Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twister-berrylicious.md) - [Jewelry-Inspired Ice Pop Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoku-ring-pop-mold.md) - [Novelty Gelato Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelato-pop.md) - [Liquid-Filled Candy Ice Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rowntrees-ice-lollies.md) - [Frozen Candy-Inspired Ice Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mega-push-pop-ice.md) - [Chewy Frozen Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolli-gummi-pops.md) - [Lollipop-Themed Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freeze-pop.md)
