Combines tropical mango and pineapple flavors with a hint of strawberry designed specifically to pair with the heat of Trolli Spicy Crawlers
Features a limited-edition collaboration kit sold exclusively on Walmart.com that bundles the new beverage with a bag of gummy worms
Mountain Dew and Trolli are running it back to capitalize on the food world’s ongoing obsession with “swicy” flavor profiles. Following the runaway success of their previous Cherry Lemon collaboration, the two powerhouse brands have officially reunited to launch Mountain Dew x Trolli Mango Pineapple Punch. This limited-edition soda merges the sweet tropical refreshment of a carbonated beverage with a deliberate push to pair it alongside fiery gummy candies.
The latest beverage handles the sweet side of the equation by boasting a juicy blend of mango and pineapple flavors backed by a subtle hint of strawberry. Realizing the true vision for the release requires a dual-consumption experience. Formulated specifically to complement the heat of Trolli Spicy Crawlers, the tropical soda allows fans to sip the fruit-forward drink while snacking on sour gummy worms that pack a sudden kick. Such a combination taps directly into a growing consumer appetite for chaotic taste profiles that clash sweet, sour and fiery notes all at once.
Executives from both companies emphasize the deliberate nature of this flavor clash. Michael Smith, vice president of marketing for Mountain Dew, noted that last year’s team-up proved how much excitement exists when both iconic entities converge. He explained that this year’s iteration pushes the concept further by leaning into a massive industry trend while delivering a bold experience. Chad Womack, marketing director at Trolli, echoed the sentiment, highlighting that the candy brand constantly looks to push boundaries and views the fruit-forward soda as the ultimate vehicle to showcase its spicy crawler lineup.
Distribution for the collaborative release spans across the United States from late August through October. Fans can secure Mountain Dew x Trolli Mango Pineapple Punch in both standard and Zero Sugar options at major retailers, while participating Pizza Hut locations are stocking 20-ounce bottles of the regular version. For enthusiasts wanting the complete sensory overload in a single package, an exclusive collaboration kit is currently listed on Walmart’s online storefront for $8 USD. Each bundle securely packs a 20-ounce bottle of both the regular and Zero Sugar punch alongside a 12-ounce bag of Spicy Crawlers, ensuring immediate access to the full experiment.
