When it comes to candy, gummy bears are far from the apex predator at movie theaters, and with Jurassic World Dominion releasing this week, long-time candy confectionary Trolli has some special edition gummies coming out along with the chance for fans to win a nearly half a ton’s worth of candy for a limited time.
Jurassic World Dominion stars returning duo Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, alongside the Jurassic Park trifecta made up of Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum reprising their roles in what is the closing chapter for the second movie trilogy based on the world created by sci-fi author Michael Crichton. As such, Dominion is bringing out all the stops to create wholly new dinosaurs such as the Giganotosaurus, the same way Trolli has come up with its own species Sour Tropical Dinos.
This new Trolli creation featuring Mango-Pineapple, Yuzo-Watermelon, and Strawberry-Guava dino-shaped gummies is just one of four products that will give Jurassic World fans the chance to become one of the lucky winners to be given a Dilophasaurus’ weight worth of candy, 880 pounds to be exact. The other three candy brands valid for this special event are Ferrara’s own SweeTARTS, Big Chewy NERDS, and organic Black Forest gummies, all of which are properly identified with special Jurassic World Dominion packaging before the extinction of its limited supply.
In order to qualify for the grand prize, all contestants must buy at least 3 out of the participating products either from the shelves of participating stores or online and then head over to the official Jurassic World Dominion sweepstakes site where they can upload their proof of purchase to automatically claim a $5 Fandango gift card. As specified, one grand prize winner will be entitled to 880 pounds of candy, while 10 first prize winners will receive a Velociraptor’s weight (100 pounds) in candy each, and the last tier of 65 winners will get a Compsognathus’ (six pounds) worth of candy each.
Although early reactions and reviews for Jurassic World Dominion leave much to be desired out of this final installment, the film is still expected to collect anywhere between $100-160m on its opening weekend, possibly the lowest in the Jurassic World era. Up to this point, all Jurassic World movies have easily cleared the one billion dollar mark worldwide, making them very profitable for Universal.
In any case, anyone heading out to theaters to watch Dominion or wanting to catch up on the two previous Jurassic World entries might want to consider getting some fitting dinosaur candy to go along since these movie prizes are of truly gargantuan proportions.
