Joyride Sweets (stylized as JOYRIDE and Joyride Uncommon Candy, previously Project 7[1]) is a gummy candy brand founded by Tyler Merrick in 2008 and co-owned by YouTuber Ryan Trahan.[2]

History

edit

In 2008, entrepreneur Tyler Merrick founded Project 7, a company that specialized in chewing gum and gummy candy. Merrick aimed for the company to be philanthropic, supporting causes in conjunction to humanitarianism and environmentalism.[3][1]. In 2022, Merrick rebranded the company as Joyride Sweets to focus on low-carbohydrate candy.[1]

In January 2024, YouTuber Ryan Trahan uploaded a video titled “My last video,” in which he announced his role as Co-Owner and Chief Creative Officer at Joyride Sweets. Alongside Merrick, Trahan aims for the creation of non-GMO, vegan, and low-carbohydrate products.[1][2]
