I bought two of these at an amusement park yesterday. I thought I bought watermelon, but I guess not. While I was eating one on the dark bus on the way home, I thought it was strawberry. When I actually got home I saw that both of them were…cherry. It doesn’t really taste anything like the regular Laffy Taffy cherry flavor, which is one of my favorite candies. Oh well.

I loved thsi candy as a kid. A tip for getting around the stretchiness. If you slap it against a table (while still in its wrapper, it will shatter into small pieces. So you can stretch it or break it to share.

Robby, I think you should consider an additional review because the other flavors of “Stretchy & Tangy Laffy Taffy” are delicious and in my opinion even better than the small ones.

Laffy Taffys, small and big, are my favorite candy and I think the addition of the 2 new flavors of ‘Sammy Strawberry’ and ’strawberry+banana’ can inaccurately turn people away from ONE OF THE MOST DELICIOUS CANDIES EVER INVENTED, and that would be a horrible thing. I have loved the small laffy taffys and loved even more “Tangy Taffys” which I thought we’re discontinued, but instead renamed to “Stretchy and Tangy Laffy Taffy” which are delicious except for the new flavors…just find the original flavors.

You absolutely must try the flavors of Herman Grape, Wally Watermelon (with seeds), Jerry Cherry, and Jerry Cherry (with sprinkles). These have been my addiction for years and have almost replaced my original small sized laffy taffy addiction. When Strawberry came out I was very disappointed with the taste and your review was accurate, but its misleading because you just happened to choose the wrong flavor.

Laffy Taffy is the only taffy I really like.

I’m glad you posted this! I was going to buy some today for my grandfather (I got him hooked on banana Laffy-Taffies when I was a kid, back when they were sold in the little wax-paper squares and I could eat two dollars worth (a LOT!) in one sitting :P) and I nearly bought a few bucks worth before realizing they were the ones you reviewed! I decided against it, and now I’m on the hunt for a large supply of the original banana flavor ones for some stocking stuffers :P

Dude,

I. Love. Laffy-Taffy. Seriously, I’d never tasted the stuff, always assuming it would be beyond gross (like most Wonka Candies), but after trying it for the first time last May, I found it strangely addictive. I’m not usually a huge fan of fake flavorings, but I found the uber-banana tastier than the real deal. The candy’s waxiness was slightly disturbing at first, along with the noticeable chemical reactions that take place as you chew…but they grew on me. Then again, if it weren’t for the fact that laffy-taffy were the only edibles in my apartment at the time, and I weren’t too cheap to buy real food, they likely wouldn’t have had a chance to.

“Snozzberry? Who ever heard of a snozzberry?”
I never really loved Laffy Taffy, but the jokes always made me groan.

Darcy b, I know what you’re talking about! Those were Tangy Taffy, and they were delicious! I think Laffy Taffy owns them now, though, but they don’t make the sprinkle kind anymore.

i remember buying smaller taffy bars at the skating rink when i was younger (that seems rather dangerous as an adult) that had big colorful sprinkles–sugar crystal looking things, if i remember right. does anyone remember if those were also laffy taffy?
