Airheads (candy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Airheads are a popular candy manufactured by Perfetti Van Melle in Erlanger, Kentucky. They are a taffy-like candy that comes individually wrapped in strips and weigh about 15.6 grams. The amount of sugar per bar is 9 grams.
Airheads come in a variety of flavors including cherry, watermelon, white mystery, green apple, strawberry, blue raspberry, and orange and sour versions as well. Other than other flavors the airheads also come in a different size; minis, used for gift bags and such. There are also other special edition flavors, including a SpongeBob flavor and a Spiderman flavor. Perfetti Van Melle sometimes produces limited edition flavors as part of promotions in partnership with other companies, such as Disney/Pixar's new movie, Cars. Airheads also come in fruit rolls, known as Airheads extremes.
Some people believe that the flavor White Mystery comes in different flavors such as cherry, watermelon, etc. The flavor of the White Mystery Airhead changes from time to time.
This Airhead brand also comes in rainbow belts, from boxes of candy strips quite different from the original.
When a person first bites an airhead it may seem hard. But soon, it will become as soft as bubble gum. They sometimes come in the wrapper hard as a rock, but after being indoors for 10 minutes or more the candy becomes very chewable.
