★ Our Story ★
We didn't invent candy. We just got really, really good at finding the best of it.
★ The Why ★
Have you ever had a Hi-Chew straight from a Tokyo combini? Or Mexican Pelon Pelo Rico from a corner store in Mexico City? It hits different. Way different.
Most candy in Dutch supermarkets is the same five brands you've had since you were 6. There's a whole world out there — Japanese mochi gummies, Korean watermelon bars, Brazilian peanut candy, American sour rope.
We bring it all to you.
★ The Build ★
2024
A friend brought back a suitcase from Tokyo full of candy. We tasted everything in one sitting. We knew Dutch shelves were missing this.
2025
RYDE was born. Logo, website, vibe — all dialed in. Started talking to suppliers in Japan, Mexico, USA, Korea.
2026
First mystery boxes shipped. Slicks and Drifters series in development. The ride is just getting started.
★ Our Rules ★
Every candy in our box has been hand-tasted by us. If we wouldn't eat it, you won't get it.
Every box is hand-packed in NL. Sometimes with stickers, sometimes with surprises, always with care.
We don't sell what every supermarket already has. Only the rare, the imported, the unfindable.
Our boxes are made to be unboxed on camera. Tag us — we repost the best ones.
