If you’re a longtime Snackology reader, you know that I’ve been on a big gummies kick. I have to credit September’s Trolli x Mountain Dew Sour Brite Crawlers for fully nudging me into the world of gummies. That crossover also included Mountain Dew Zero Sugar x Trolli Cherry Lemon, which was — as you can probably guess — a soda that tasted like sour gummies.
It turns out Trolli has been finding innovative ways to bring its iconic flavors to other foods, with one of those offerings being perfect for summer: Trolli Gummi Pop Very Berry.
This frozen treat isn’t just an ice pop that tastes like a Trolli Gummi. These ice pops — through some kind of food alchemy — even mimic the texture of a Trolli Gummi.
Trolli calls them “a one-of-a-kind sensory experience with the unbelievably soft, gummi consistency fans already love, brought straight from the candy shelf to your freezer.”

There’s no way I can fully and properly convey to all of you the texture of a Trolli Gummi Pop Very Berry through photos. When I opened up a box to take pictures for this review, I was worried they had somehow started to melt.
Nope.
These Trolli ice pops have a wobbly texture to them. They’re bendy. They’re a little squishy. Is it exactly a Trolli Gummi? Not quite. But it’s weirdly close.
Trolli Gummi Pops also come in Cherry Lemon and Grape Strawberry (Orange Lime is the only flavor from a classic bag of Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers that got skipped). Very Berry is the latest addition to the lineup, and it’s a very (berry) successful flavor.
“The response to Trolli Gummi Pop last year was incredible — Trolli fans couldn't get enough of this never-before-seen frozen gummi treat. We had to come up with another evolution of that,” an exec from the ice cream manufacturer behind Trolli Gummi Pops said in their announcement. “We’re taking fan favorite Trolli flavors and bringing them to freezers everywhere in a daring and vibrant way that only Trolli can pull off.”
Our daughter is probably one of the nation’s top consumers of ice pops and ice-pop-adjacent desserts. Trolli Gummi Pop Very Berry passed her test, which I was actually kind of surprised about based on their unusual texture.
