Samsung and Hershey’s have pulled off the next best thing to handing out golden tickets to Willy Wonka’s factory (no, not the one at Glasgow). The new Samsung Friends & Hershey’s collection dresses up the latest Galaxy devices—including the Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Galaxy Buds3 series, and Galaxy Watch7—in a wrapper of nostalgia.

Each of the 12 pieces in the series is a unique design inspired by the candy giant’s packaging. And there’s a sweet sustainability story to go with it. Samsung has found a way to turn Hershey’s plastic waste into pretty cool phone cases and watch straps, giving new life to empty chocolate bars.

To celebrate the launch, the South Korean tech giant has opened a popup shop in Gangnam, Seoul, where visitors can customize their accessories with 100% recycled materials containing Hershey’s plastic,  turning their gadgets into one-of-a-kind pieces. And to top it off, there are Hershey’s-themed drinks to sip on while you design.

For now, the sweet treats for your tech are only available in South Korea. But don’t despair, chocolate lovers who happen to own Androids. Samsung and Hershey’s are planning to spread the joy to the United States, Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines soon.
