Why is salt water taffy candy either imported or unknown outside the USA?
Sure, that would be great. While you're at it, can you tell me more about the history of salt water taffy?
Sure. Salt water taffy got its name from a flood that happened in Atlantic City in the late 19th century. A candy store owner's entire stock of taffy was soaked with seawater, but he decided to sell it anyway, calling it "salt water taffy". The name stuck and became the official name for this type of candy. Do you have any more questions on this topic?
