Laffy Taffy memories...
My favorite memory of laffy taffy would have to be the one about my babysitter back in second grade. On Fridays, she would bring over a goody-bag which was a brown paper bag usually full of candy. If we had behaved ourselves all week, we got to reach into the bag and pull out a piece of candy. Of course, I would always try to grab the laffy taffy by feeling the wrappers. To me, it was the best thing ever because I loved laffy taffy, and thought it was fun to read those riddles on the wrappers to my older sister who would just roll her eyes at me. Now, I'll be getting groceries and see a bag of them on the shelf and immediately grab it. It's become my favorite candy ever since that year. ~ Lauren from Georgia It's not a childhood memory... in fact, I don't remember ever seeing Laffy Taffy until my kids brought it home in their trick-or-treat stash. However, I am one of those terrible "Halloween candy thieves." That's how I tried Laffy Taffy for the first time. Now I am three months pregnant with my third child and craving it like crazy - the banana flavor, to be precise! It is the best stuff in the world. So this baby is a Laffy Taffy fan before it even gets here! ~ Amy from Tennessee When I was in my math class as a child, I
was secretly eating a Laffy Taffy, while my teacher passed out an assignment. I
glanced down in my lap to read the jokes and all I saw was the word "cloud"
before looking up, afraid I was going to get caught. I started thinking of what
you could joke about a cloud. Suddenly I thought of my own joke: "At Cloud
School, what were the clouds graded on? Precipitation!" That laffy taffy made me
the most popular kid in elementary school. I told the joke to all of my friends
and teachers and they all loved it! I heard kids telling their friends my joke,
of course I told them that it was mine, but I was just so happy about how
popular it was. At the end of the year, everyone who signed my yearbook had
something to say about my joke. I was known as "The cloud girl" or The Laffy
Taffy girl" throughout high school. I will never forget the joy that Strawberry
Laffy Taffy gave me, and it was delicious too I might add! ~ Melissa from
