Inspired by the form of a fidget spinner toy, YOLO Candy recently launched Fidget Pop as a new kind of treat with a spinning feature.
The lollipop candy is set up on a dual-sided stick that boasts the ability to spin in the same way as a fidget toy. The new flavor combinations that have just been introduced by YOLO Candy include either a pairing of Watermelon and Strawberry or Blue Raz and Cherry. As of the spring, the fidget toy-inspired candies are now available through various retailers, including Walmart.
The popularity of fidget spinners and activity toys has inspired many brands across different categories to reimagine everything from bath bombs to mobile devices in a way that mimics the novel forms of the playthings.
