Sound Bites(TM) is being unveiled at the 1998 Toy Fair in New York City, and the early reaction is music to Hasbro's ears. Based on proprietary technology developed by Sound Bites, LLC. The new toy-candy sensation sends safe sound vibrations through a standard lollipop. When a person bites on a lollipop that has been inserted in a Sound Bites, the sound vibrations travel through the teeth to the inner ear, where they are heard just like normal sounds. Audible primarily to the eater, the effect is the magic of hearing sounds inside your head.

The possibilities for line extensions are practically limitless. The Sounds Bites has four buttons that, when pushed, mix and match the sound selection. The holder is compatible with most standard lollipops. The first Sound Bites will be available nationwide at specialty and national retailers in May, with more extensive, global distribution later in 1998.
