Airheads: Steve Bruner invented the candy and he believed it took a generation for a candy name to become part of our culture. He didn't want to wait that long. He asked his children, “What would you call your friend who did something silly?” and one of them said, “Airhead.”

Actually airheads are not quite taffy, they are less sticky, chewier, smoother, and are harder to bite into than your typical taffy.

Like Laffy Taffy, Airheads are a sticky treat that can damage your teeth. That said, they are low in calories and sugars, making them a healthier option. Airheads are also vegan, according to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA.)

The 'Worst' Halloween Candies

Airheads uses taffy as one of its main ingredients which allows it to be quite malleable. The candy is manufactured on a conveyor belt, where the taffy goes through sugars and sweeteners leading to a thinning, forming, and packaging process. The machines stir about 3,000 pounds of taffy.
