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.
Steve Bruner invented Airheads on August 7th, 1985. Van Melle Incorporated is the manufacturer of Airheads. Started as a soft, flat, fruit chew in between rice paper and it was offered to Lipton Tea as a new product possibility. Lipton was already producing a product called âFruit Wrinklesâ.
