Stranger Things fans, get ready for a summer in the Upside Down. The show's official Twitter account recently tweeted an epic poster for season three, with the highly anticipated release date: July 4.
To prepare for your season three binge, you'll want to check out IT'SUGAR's Stranger Things candy. The store released the collection in October, just in time for Halloween. If you didn't try the gummy Eggo or The Upside Down Chocolate Bar then, the upcoming season is a perfect excuse to order some now.

Although we have to wait until 2019 to see what season three brings for Eleven, Mike, and the rest of the Hawkins gang, you can tap in to the Upside Down now—with Stranger Things-inspired candy! IT'SUGAR, a candy store with locations nationwide (you can shop online, too), has created candy that pays tribute to Stranger Things characters and themes.
The candy store recently posted a photo of the sweets, just in time for Halloween, with the caption: "Live from the Upside Down... our exclusive Stranger Things collection is here!"
The candy is available in stores, or on IT'SUGAR's website. Currently on the website, there are seven Stranger Things products, including two T-shirts and five different candies. There's a gummy waffle—obviously—because Eggo waffles are Eleven's favorite food.
Per the description on the site, "Nothing comes between a (super powerful telekinetic) girl and her waffles! Freezers or toasters are not required to enjoy this oversized maple-flavored gummy." The gummy is 4.5 inches across!
Ahhhh, poor Barb. If you watch the show, you know her disappearance is a big part of the plot—for about one episode. IT'SUGAR made a Stranger Things old-school milk carton with Barb's picture on side under "MISSING." The milk carton is filled with milk chocolate malted milk balls.
"Justice for Barb!" the description says. "Our Stranger Things Milk Carton asks the question Barb's friends and family never really cared enough to ask: Where is she?" OOOOOH, shots fired—but also, it's true. It's bizarre how a teen's disappearance is so swept under the rug in the show. (You should definitely still watch it, though).
You can spell out a message to the Upside Down with these Stranger Things Gummy Letters. IT'SUGAR says, "We love creepy Christmas lights as much as the other guys, but when it comes to communicating with alternate dimensions we'll always choose the option that tastes better."
All of these candies could make for a really fun themed Halloween party, right? The best product, in my opinion, is The Upside Down Chocolate Bar. The wrapper and chocolate itself are so clever. The wrapper shows the pals biking and then below them (upside down, obviously) is presumably Will being chased by a creature.
The actual chocolate is half milk chocolate and half gray-speckled white chocolate (so it really looks like the color of the Upside Down). IT'SUGAR says, "we heard it's a favorite in the Upside Down next to Three Musketeer Bars."
My Little Pollywog is an "all fruit flavored gummy" that's just a little over three inches. This little guy (that looks like Dart, Dustin's "pet") is out of stock at the moment, but you can sign up to be notified when it's back.
Something tells me all of these candies are going to go fast, so you should get to an IT'SUGAR store or shop online sooner than later.
