The banana flavor is so synthetic, it's amazing what chemicals can do:)

@ditzykunoichi 3 месяца назад

That's because most people have never had a Gros Michel banana, which is what the flavor of Laffy Taffy banana candy (and most other artificial flavored banana candies) are based on. You can get them online from South America.

@keithbarlow9701 2 месяца назад

Interesting bit of info: Artificial grape flavor comes from a chemical called methyl anthranilate. The same compound is also commonly used as bird repellent. And honestly... I get it, birds. I totally get it.

@@ditzykunoichiYeah, from what I've heard, they were the most common banana before a blight wiped them out, so that's why most banana candies are based on them.

I just thank you for not promising to do push-ups for the number of likes. I feel like there's some dude out here that owes a billion push-ups to random internet people.

Ate nearly an entire bag of laffy taffy when I was 15 surprisingly with no ill effects. Haven’t touched the stuff in more than 30 years since… 😂

I didn't know the wonka candy was discontinued during the transaction. Crazy to think that happened.

I bet most kids didn't know taffy existed before laffy taffy, I only learned this because regular taffy was mentioned in the buzz light-year tv show... weirdly enough

Salt Water Taffy! I remember a various color flavoured tast treat wrapped in wax paper. Came in rolls and slices. I saw the machines that streatched it and rolled it. Unfortunately Laffy Taffy has or hopefully doesn’t have an ingredient in it many may not be aware causes the walls of the blood stream to thicken and form constrictions over time. I quit eating it. The ingredient was substituted for an unstable oil to add shelf life to this candy but has no nutritional value since this shelf life oil can not be broken down, it is absorbed into the walls and membranes in the vein and arteries where it forms plaque. My Mom introduced me to the non fatal taffy that most may have forgotten about. True I don’t know the whole story about that taffy.
