Laffy Taffy History

Laffy Taffy Memories

My favorite memory of laffy taffy would have to be the one about my babysitter back in second grade. On Fridays, she would bring over a goody-bag which was a brown paper bag usually full of candy. If we had behaved ourselves all week, we got to reach into the bag and pull out a piece of candy. Of course, I would always try to grab the laffy taffy by feeling the wrappers.

To me, it was the best thing ever because I loved laffy taffy, and thought it was fun to read those riddles on the wrappers to my older sister who would just roll her eyes at me. Now, I'll be getting groceries and see a bag of them on the shelf and immediately grab it. It's become my favorite candy ever since that year. ~ Lauren from Georgia
