Rotten is introducing itself to the world on Kickstarter with a mission to help people reduce their sugar intake with low-sugar gummy worms. The indulgent and better-for-you treats can be found in both regular and sour versions with flavors like Strawberry, Lemonade, Grapefruit and Watermelon.
Thanks to the fact that they are made with real fruit and the natural sweetener allulose, the Rotten Gummy Worms have 70% less sugar.
In addition to reducing its sugar content, the brand is committed to sustainable and plastic-free packaging. Rotten Gummy Worms are packaged in home-compostable materials so that they can be properly disposed of without reliance on industrial facilities. The brand's focus on low-sugar candies, sustainability and health have already helped it to surpass its initial crowdfunding goals.
