The IKEA x Chupa Chups lollipop

They’re real. They’re strange. They’re fun and quirky. Ever taste a meatball and gravy and lingonberry flavour lollipop? Not many have. At IKEA, we love meatballs. But we also love Swedish candy. The IKEA x Chupa Chups collab is here.

Chupa Chups Meatball Flavour lollipop inspired by IKEA dish, wrapped in packaging.

Meatball-flavored lollipop: too far? Or just right?

The IKEA x Chupa Chups collab is real – and almost gone. Pop by an IKEA Swedish Restaurant on 6/11 or 6/26 and try it for free. Just ask a cashier while supplies last. Do you dare?

And no, the lollipop does not contain meat. #IKEAlollipop
