Polymers that contain only a single type of repeat unit are known as homopolymers, while polymers containing a mixture of repeat units are known as copolymers. Poly(styrene), for example, is composed only of styrene monomer residues, and is therefore classified as a homopolymer.
AirHeads bounced onto the radar of confection lovers in 1986 courtesy of the Italian and Dutch candy manufacturing company Perfetti Van Melle. Produced by their USA division based in Kentucky, AirHeads are a chewy taffy-like confection that kids love to pull, squish and mold into crazy shapes before they bite into it.
(Iâm still trying to get the trademark of Morselization.) Today I have Airheads Bites from Perfetti Van Melle. The category of candy known as Airheads has always been a bit of a curiosity for me. If youâve never had them, theyâre small, flat bars of tangy chew. Theyâre not taffy or a chew in the same sense as Starburst or Mentos. One of the main constituents is dextrose, which is the same stuff you find in SweeTarts.
