AirHeads are a tangy, taffy-like, chewy candy manufactured by Perfetti Van Melle in Erlanger, Kentucky, USA.[1] They were created in 1986.[2]
Information
The candy comes individually wrapped in long colored strips, in a variety of flavors: cherry, lemonade, watermelon, white mystery, green apple, strawberry, blue raspberry, orange, Cola, Pink Lemonade, Grape-o-licious, Citrus Cooler, Mang-o-tastic, Strawberry Banana, Tutti Frutti, "Slammin' Sour" and "Flaming Hot." It is also available in mini-size. Special edition flavors, such as Superman, SpongeBob and Spider-Man, are sold as promotions. "AirHeads Xtremes" are fruit rolls with a sour taste. AirHeads Pops are lollipops available in apple, blue raspberry, strawberry, cherry, watermelon, grape, strawberry kiwi and berry.
In 2007, a new BerryHot flavor was introduced that claims to "heat up in your mouth." In 2008, "Chillin" flavors were released that have a minty "cold" feeling.
AirHeads Blue Mystery Blast bars were distributed to all travellers on JetBlue Airways on October 31, 2007, in honor of Halloween.[3]
Watermelon is regarded as a far superior flavor to many other AirHeads. White Mystery follows as a close second.[4]
Distribution
Airheads were originally sold across Canada and the United States but an expansion into the United Kingdom was announced in 2015.[5] Airheads Xtremes and Bars are manufactured in the US and Airheads Pops in Mexico and Spain.[6]
Production
Airheads are made in a machine very similar to the toys used to create long strips of Playdoh and into different types of shapes. The main ingredient is sugar.[6]
