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
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 such as anti-bullying, anti-homophobia, water purification initiatives, and tree planting.[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,”[4] where he announced his role as Co-Owner and Chief Creative Officer at Joyride Sweets. Alongside Merrick, Trahan contributes to the creation of non-GMO, vegan, low-carbohydrate, fibrous candy.[1][5]
