Side Hustle Spotlight: Watermelon Yumnums on TikTok 🍉
From Junk Removal to Sweet Success: The Story of Watermelon Yumnums Candy 🍉
Hey there, candy lovers! I’m usually all about clearing clutter with my junk removal business, but today I’m sharing a sweeter passion—my freeze-dried candy side hustle, Watermelon Yumnums! This delicious treat has taken TikTok by storm, and I’m thrilled to bring it to you through my new Shopify store at watermelonyumnums.com. Follow my candy-making journey on TikTok at @watermelonyumnums and discover how I turned a creative idea into a must-try snack.
The Spark: Crafting a Unique Watermelon Candy
It all started with a candy obsession and a wild idea. I wanted to create something totally original, so I blended two candies into one, infusing them with bold watermelon flavor and a secret complementary twist. After some tasty trial and error, I nailed it—Watermelon Yumnums was born! This sweet-and-tangy treat bursts with juicy watermelon vibes and a delightful surprise that makes every bite unforgettable.
The Magic Touch: Freeze-Drying Watermelon Yumnums
My blended candies were already a hit with friends, but then I stumbled across the freeze-dried candy craze on TikTok. I borrowed a freeze dryer, popped my Yumnums inside, and wow—what a game-changer! The process removes nearly all moisture, turning the candy into light, airy bites with an incredible crunch. Picture this: crispy, melt-in-your-mouth Watermelon Yumnums with intensified flavor and a texture that’s pure fun. I set the freeze dryer to candy mode (125°F for 2–4 hours), and my watermelon candy puffed up into something truly special.
Hustling for the Dream: From Side Gig to Shopify Store
Freeze-drying hooked me, but I didn’t own the equipment—a good freeze dryer runs $2,500–$3,000! So, I hustled. Between junk removal jobs, I sold small batches of non-freeze-dried Watermelon Yumnums locally, promising customers, “Wait ‘til you try the freeze-dried version!” Every $8 bag sold got me closer. After months of hard work, I bought my own freeze dryer, and the first batch was perfection—crisp, bold, and addictive.
That’s when I launched watermelonyumnums.com. Now, you can order your own 33g bag of freeze-dried Watermelon Yumnums for just $8 plus $3 shipping—straight from my kitchen to your door!
TikTok Fame and a Really Great Product
I started sharing the process on TikTok (@watermelonyumnums), and the response blew me away. My first video—showing the freeze-drying magic with “Watermelon Yumnums Crunch 🍉 #CandyTok”—racked up thousands of views overnight. Fans raved about the ASMR-worthy crunch, vibrant watermelon flavor, and my candy-making story. Comments like “I need this NOW!” and “Where can I get Watermelon Yumnums?” inspired me to scale up. Micro-influencers jumped in, and soon, this wasn’t just a side hustle—it was a standout product with serious potential.
