my mom bought the green ones, which were wintergreen. Where are they now???

I used to buy air bons by the bag full at our local drug store when I was a kid. There were the red ones, green ones and maybe yellow. I don't recall the other flavor. They were one of the most memorable treats as a child. Do they still make them somewhere out there. If so I would love to get a hold of a case.

I love these! Air bons! We bought them at Kmart!

Does anyone know which candy manufacturer made them? If we find that, we can ask the company if they still make air bons.

Could it be??? Has anyone ordered from here to find out? www candywarehouse.com/stripedballs.html Removed a dot so it would go.

I loved thses too and have always wondered if I could find them For some reason I think they were made by Whitman's but that is just a guess. I would love to find the, I used to buy them at this little pharmacy in Yorba LInda CA called B & B and have asked there but no one remembers them

I use to love these and have currently been trying to find the Air Bons. Teeheenah, the candy you found are not the Air bons. :( But good try. I really dont think they make them any more :(

They were great--we only had the peppermint ones in Hawaii, which were made by Whitman and came in a can. I had the Vermont Country Store check on them (they have been able to find old brands and have them made again) but they were unsuccessful.

I used to LOVE Air Bons, especially the peppermint (white) ones. I remember buying them at K-Mart, Walgreens and even Woolworths. I am always on the lookout for them whenever I am shopping but haven't come across any....yet. Please tell me they didn't quit making them!I can taste them now. Loved how they would dissolve away in my mouth. =)

My best friend and I bought these during college -- 1994 was the last year I remember them. We'd eat them like mad. If you ate one and then drank water it tasted so cold you thought your teeth would shatter. You could even just hold one between your lips and blow hot breath on them and they'd melt. I would LOVE to find these again!

Whitman's Air Bons! I have looked and searched the internet. No one has them. Yellow were butterscotch, by the way. And no, the stripedballs from candywarehouse ain't them. Too bad. I'm going to write the Whitman's company and ask.

I am sitting here dreaming of AIR BONS...Spearmint and Peppermint to be exact. How I miss them!!!

I can not believe the number of people that are looking for this candy.I often find myself looking for them oh how I wish I will go to K-mart one day and see them. I look every time I go in just hoping. I my mom introduced those to me as a child and I would buy bags of them when i went to K-mart they were 2 for a dollar. I cotton candy balled tight in my fist is the closest i have gotten..Maybe they will make a come pack.. To all the Puff Candy Lovers take care.

My great grandmother ALWAYS had these candies when I was growing up - I loved them. Have been looking for them for years and have not been able to find them anywhere. Let's all write to Whitman's and ask them to bring them back!

I thought that I was the only one who missed this candy. The last time I purchased them was at K Mart about 8 or 9 years ago. I wonder why they stopped making it.

I've been looking for them too! But I couldn't remember the name. Thank you! They were sold in bags in my part of the country and at discount or drug stores and were 2 for $1.00. We had the peppermint, butterscotch, & spearment. When you put them in your mouth they immediately disolved into a small chewy candy mass similar to what happens when you put cotton candy in your mouth. Oh! If anyone finds them, please post!

I emailed Whitman's a while back about Air Bons and they said they no longer make them. I just emailed them again asking them if they'd consider making them again. I'll write back and let everyone know what they say.

Reply from Russell Stover/ Whittman's : Thank you for recently contacting us. It is always a pleasure to hear from our customers whether it is to praise or in offering their comments and/or suggestions. We are sorry, but there are no plans to bring back the Peppermint Air Bons. Your comments will not go unnoticed. I don't think I'm the only one to write to them so I think our comments are indeed going unnoticed. Or they notice but don't give a hoot.

My grandmother had the peppermint one every Christmas when I was young. I've been looking for them for years. Couldn't remember what they were called until just now when I found this site. So sad to learn that they can't be found any longer. My mom and I are crushed. Whitmans please bring them back!
