Interestingly enough, taffy has been around since the 1800s. It became "Laffy" in 1971 as part of a movie spoof. The candy wrappers had jokes printed on them, and children would even send jokes to the manufacturer (Willy Wonka) in hopes of their riddle making it on the wrapper. EZine and The History of Things both have more information on the history of this delicious product.

Our bulk Laffy Taffy has the tastey flavors of chocolate, strawberry, sour apple, grape, blue raspberry, banana, and cherry will keep you "laffy" throughout the day.
