The Swedish meatball lollipop is here – but can you guess the brand collab behind it?

Ikea x Chupa Chups collab.

During this year's April Fools Day, Ikea 'announced' an unexpected collaboration with iconic confectionery brand Chupa Chups, and thus, the infamous Swedish meatball lollipop was born. While conceptually a little stomach churning, the playful stunt got people's attention, prompting the pair's latest move to make April Fools' dreams a reality.

Yes, that's right. The Swedish meatball lollipop is now a real thing. As the world’s first (and hopefully last) meatball-flavoured lollipop, the bizarre campaign is a perfect blend of the iconic brands' offbeat energy, proving that leaning into absurdity can build an unforgettable global campaign.
