Candy Can, the beverage brand known for transforming nostalgic sweets into fizzy, flavour-forward drinks, has unveiled two new sparkling flavours in partnership with iconic sour candy maker Toxic Waste.

The launch introduces Toxic Waste Sour Apple and Toxic Waste Blue Razz to the Canadian market, marking the first-ever collaboration between the two brands.

The partnership brings Toxic Waste’s signature tongue-twisting sour profile into beverage form, aligning with Candy Can’s mission to infuse fun, playfulness, and childhood nostalgia into every can. The new offerings deliver a balance of bold sour punch and refreshing sweetness designed to appeal to fans of adventurous flavours.

The new green Toxic Waste Sour Apple can replaces Candy Can’s previous Sour Apple SKU, bringing an updated and intensified recipe that heightens the tart apple experience. Blue Razz, a vibrant blue raspberry flavour, enters the lineup as a completely new addition, expanding Candy Can’s growing selection of candy-inspired carbonated drinks.

“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,” said Sander de Jonge, founder of Candy Can. “The Toxic Waste flavours bring a whole new edge to our lineup and are designed for fans who love a flavour adventure.”

Candy Can says the partnership reflects a natural alignment between two brands that prioritise creative flavour innovation and memorable taste experiences.

The new Toxic Waste Sour Apple and Blue Razz sparkling beverages are available now across Canada at major retailers, including Giant Tiger, Dollar Tree, Red Apple, Couche Tard and Circle K Atlantic. Both flavours will remain part of Candy Can’s permanent assortment.
