Salt water taffy is a totally American sweet. I don’t know much about this sweet, but I have heard about it so often, in books and movies, that I have become quite curious to learn more, so when I found a profile on this sweet on the candyusa site, I thought I would share it with everyone.
Some fun facts on salt water taffy:
Salt water taffy was “invented†in
Atlantic City in 1883. Â
Modern technology allows confectioners to produce 1,000 pieces of taffy a minute. Â
In one hour enough pieces of taffy are made to cover one third of the length of
Atlantic City (about 1.3 miles). Â
In one day enough pieces of taffy are made to cover about 2/3 of the width of
New Jersey (about 46 miles). Â
The three most popular taffy flavors sold by Sweet Candy Company are peppermint, cinnamon and chocolate. Â
America celebrates National Taffy Day May 23rd.
