Gum and Airheads
Airheads are small, chewy candies manufactured by Dutch Italians firm Perfetti Van Melle. Created in 1930, Airheads first caught on in the United States and were a huge success. They gained even more popularity in Europe after World War II when Allied forces often dropped them from their airplanes to discourage enemy soldiers from taking them as souvenirs. Today they remain a popular candy among collectors. Many people collect these sweet toys because of their sentimental value and because they're so incredibly cute. But what are Airheads without their sticky sweet coating?
The origin of Airheads dates back to Italy, where an enterprising young pastry chef invented a way to mass produce them. He found that by adding sugar, vanilla and cream to a heated tealeaf he could make gumbo. The Italian soldiers loved it and so did the locals and soon the gumbo was a favorite of everyone. Soon the gumbo spread to France, Holland and Belgium and before you could even call them gums it had already made its way over to the United States where it was called remarassera. It wasn't long before this popular candy was being produced in every state in America.
The gum came to be known as "airheads" because of the sticky, sugary consistency. These gums would often be stuck to straws, clothing or whatever else could be used as a way to ingest them. This was the beginning of the tradition of placing an airhead in one's mouth and enjoying the sugary goodness of the candy. No one knew how far the American version would take them but they sure enjoyed the gum, more so than the candy they were used to eating.
Airheads have transcended into a very desirable treat. People collect them for their sweet flavor and because they're so delightful to chew on. This candy can come in many different shapes and colors, depending on the manufacturer, but there are always recognizable characteristics that set each type apart from the rest. Some airheads are shaped like hearts or even angels because of the way they're melted and sculpted. Others are shaped like cigarettes with their tips cut off. And others may just be a regular candy bar with a hole at the top for your little fingers to put in them.
The packaging on most airheads are very appealing and unique. Many are packaged in colorful wrapping paper with ribbons trailing off of them. These wrappers are often covered in gold foil, giving them the appearance that they're just going to be thrown out with other gum and candy. That is why many airheads are sold in sets along with gum and lollipops, so that a person can collect the entire collection over time rather than just buying a box of airheads out of the supermarket.
If you're looking for the best gum and airheads to give as gifts then there are a lot of options on the market today. Most gum manufacturers are able to create custom shapes and designs to meet the exact specifications of each individual gift recipient. This means that no matter who you're buying them for, or what kind of occasion you want to mark up to, you'll find gum and airheads that will make any occasion a success. In fact, most gum manufacturers and airheads distributors often have special sales and deals at certain times of the year, such as during the Christmas holidays or when school vacations are approaching.
