When it comes to snacks that break the internet, few brands have stirred up excitement quite like Joyride — the candy company co-founded by beloved YouTuber and entrepreneur Ryan Trahan. And now, one of the most talked-about treats in the lineup has officially arrived at YEG Exotic: the Joyride Raspberry Strips.
If you’ve been following the wave of viral candy trends, you’ll know these aren’t your average sour strips. They’re colourful, flavour-packed, and built around the idea that candy can taste amazing and be made with better ingredients. For Edmonton candy lovers who want to try what’s trending across social media, this is the one to grab before it’s gone — because these super sought-after candy strips rarely stay in stock for long.
From YouTube Fame to Candy Aisles Everywhere
Ryan Trahan, known for his wildly entertaining YouTube challenges and genuine personality, has built a massive global audience. When he launched Joyride, fans were immediately intrigued. Could a YouTuber really make candy that tastes this good? The answer, according to reviewers and fans alike, is a resounding yes.
The Joyride Raspberry Strips are one of the brand’s standout flavours — bold, tangy, and satisfyingly chewy, with the perfect mix of sweet and sour. They feature Joyride’s signature clean-ingredient approach, using plant-based components and less sugar than traditional candy, but still deliver all the fun, mouth-watering punch that candy fans crave.
What really sets these apart, though, is the cultural hype. Every time Joyride drops new candy, it sells out almost instantly online. Fans have even been calling these Raspberry Strips “impossible to find” in the U.S. and Canada. That’s why YEG Exotic is especially excited to offer them right here in Edmonton — giving local candy lovers the chance to finally try what everyone’s been buzzing about.
What Makes the Joyride Raspberry Strips So Addictive?
It’s all about the flavour and texture. These strips combine a tangy raspberry profile with a satisfying chewy consistency that feels nostalgic yet elevated. Each bite brings a wave of sweet-then-sour excitement, balanced just right so it never feels overwhelming.
The plant-based recipe also makes Joyride candies a hit with anyone who prefers a slightly better-for-you indulgence — no artificial dyes, no excess sugar, and nothing that compromises on taste. They’re proof that you can have your candy and enjoy it guilt-free, too.
