The History of Sponge Candy. Sponge candy is popular in some parts of the world and in a few American states, but is an unheard-of treat in other regions. The American version of this crisp, caramelized sugar is often coated with chocolate and it originates from the Buffalo area.
Mentos candy originated in 1932 in the Netherlands. Whether the chew or gum variety, it has a crunchy outer layer and a chewy center. While the chews are meant to be swallowed like candy, you can the chew the gum to your heart's content.
