Why is salt water taffy candy either imported or unknown outside the USA?
That sounds interesting. Can you tell me more about the history of salt water taffy?
Sure! Salt water taffy was first marketed as a souvenir candy in Atlantic City, New Jersey in the late 1800s. It gets its name from an incident where a wave flooded a candy store and soaked all the taffy, resulting in it being called "salt water taffy." Over time, the candy became a popular treat along the East Coast and eventually spread throughout the United States.
