Candy Can and Toxic Waste® have announced a new partnership that will see the sparkling refreshment brand transforming the candy brand's signature sour flavor into an effervescent series of beverages.
The new products will include the Toxic Waste Sour Appel and Toxic Waste Blue Razz flavors, which are each inspired by the classic candy flavors and will be permanent additions to the Candy Can lineup. The drinks balance out sour tasting notes with sweetness and are expected to be a hit with kids, but particularly with kids-at-heart. Consumers in Canada can find the drinks on store shelves now at Giant Tidier, Red Apple, Dollar Tree, Couche Card and Circle K.
Candy Can Founder Sander de Jonge spoke on the partnership with Toxic Waste® candy saying, "This collaboration with Toxic Waste® lets us tap into the thrill of sour candy culture while staying true to what Candy Can stands for; bold, nostalgic fun. The Toxic Waste flavours bring a whole new edge to our lineup and are designed for fans who love a flavour adventure.”
