History of Airheads - From Gumball to Silly Putty
Airheads are small, chewy candies made by Belgian company Perfetti Van Melle from Erlanger, Kentucky. They were created in 1941. They are similar to the American Splenda. The candy has a long history and is still popular today. This article will give some history on Airheads and their creator, Dr. van Mellem.
In the early years, Airheads were nothing more than a gum ball, a candy bar with a sugary, sticky center. They quickly became a huge hit in candy stores, due to their chewy flavor and bright colors. The gum was designed to resemble a small black bird with its beak open, revealing a hole for a tiny treat. These bright colors made these candies very attractive to kids.
Airheads first began as gum balls, but they soon changed to a crunchy snack that required one's fingers to take off the end of the gum. These gum balls soon began to change into a candy that looked like a bird, having different colors depending on how it was manufactured. Different versions of the gum had different characters printed on them, making them fun to collect. By giving these Airheads candy that had a distinct color and the look, parents noticed how much their children craved these sweet snacks.
Dr. van Mellem decided to make some changes to his gum, making it softer and less sugary so it would be a better choice for children. He also began to include some healthier alternatives to sugar such as natural fruit flavors. He hoped this would appeal to those parents who did not want their children to become sugar addicts. These changes made the Airheads Bites the favorite of many children.
Airheads became even more popular when they were added to themetics aisle of department stores. More people than ever realized the fun benefits of these toys. More children were buying them, and the toys were becoming more educational with each passing year. Parents were starting to notice that while their children were enjoying their new Airheads, they were also learning about their environment and health. By playing with these toys, their attention spans improved and their interests in science and nature grew.
Today, there are countless toys that have evolved from the original Airheads. Parents no longer have to worry that their child is playing with a traditional wafer of candy when he or she discovers the joys of these tiny toys. With their growing popularity, Airheads are only going to become more popular, and all the better for children around the world!
