Trolli, the candy masterminds behind Sour Brite Crawlers, just dropped a colorful new twist for gummy fans everywhere: Sour Brite Squad. This playful trio of crawler-shaped gummies comes in fun new textures and trending berry-citrus flavors like Blackberry-Lime and Strawberry-Lemonade. After a limited release in late 2024, the Squad has now gone nationwide—and it’s not just about snacking. Trolli is leveling up with a gamer-focused sweepstakes in partnership with Elgato, offering candy lovers the chance to win the ultimate streaming setup.
Crawlers got a glow-up
Trolli officially launched Sour Brite Squad nationwide on May 6, 2025, following a successful soft rollout last year. The new gummies combine wild shapes, ridged textures, and high-impact flavor duos—perfect for candy lovers and snackers looking for a sensory thrill.
Flavor MVPs include:
- Blackberry-Lime
- Strawberry-Lemonade
- Raspberry-Orange
Available in 4.25 oz, 6.3 oz, and 12.3 oz packs, these sweet-and-sour treats hit shelves at $2.39 to $5.39.
Gummies meet gamers
To sweeten the deal, Trolli teamed up with Elgato, a top-tier name in gaming gear, for a giveaway that’ll make any streamer’s dreams come true. The Sour Brite Squad Sweepstakes includes a custom-built gaming setup decked out with a green screen, lighting gear, mic, and more.

We’re pushing the boundaries of what consumers expect from Trolli by creating candy experiences that actively jolt the senses through unique shapes and flavors that are asking to be devoured anytime, anywhere.” Jessica Hunt, Senior Associate Brand Manager at Trolli. “
