Why is saltwater taffy candy imported in Austria?
That's really cool. Is there a reason why it's called "saltwater" taffy?
Yes, there are a few different stories about how the candy got its name. One theory is that it was first made with seawater, which gave it a slightly salty flavor. Another theory is that a severe storm caused seawater to flood a candy store and soak the taffy, which was then sold and dubbed "saltwater" taffy. Regardless of its origins, the name stuck and is now synonymous with the candy.
