Mmm ... Tangy Taffy. I remember they came in wide, flat slabs as big as a candy bar. Grape, cherry and strawberry. We used to eat these after swimming at the lake. Mmm ... so tangy!

does anyone know where to get tangy taffy? I love it!!

I picked some up at the checkout of walmart the other night. No Joke!

I loved that stuff! If anyone sees it anywhere email me laurenarf@yahoo.com

I always got the grape taffy, frozen, at the public pool.

This was my favorite candy of the 80s hands down! I think the strawberry was even called Wild Strawberry? It was my favorite but I loved all 3! I have yet to find it that tasted like this did. The new Tangy Taffy is not the same thing.

Tangy Taffy is still around its now under the Laffy Taffy name the small laffy taffy's are bad but the big bars are exactly the same as tangy taffy..you can get them at some 7-11's

I need to figure out how to make this stuff since it isn't being sold anymore. Anyone have any clues? I found a recipe for another discontinued favorite - Callard & Bowser Licorice Toffees that is very close to the original.. Now I just need one for Grape Tangy Taffy and I'll be set.

Mmmm ... grape tangy taffy.

Laffy Taffy is just like Tangy Taffy.

Maybe in taste, but it doesn't come in a gigantic bar like Tangy Taffy used to.

Here's the scoop. Tangy Taffy is still around. There are TWO types of Laffy Taffy. What you want is "Laffy Taffy Stretchy & Tangy". It's the same stuff as we ate in the 80's! I confirmed this with Nestle and have been eating it for the last few weeks!! Hope that helps.

"Laffy Taffy Stretchy & Tangy" is not the same, I lived off of Tangy Taffy when i was a kid and tried "Laffy Taffy Stretchy & Tangy" and it is not the same. Laffy Taffy Stretchy & Tangy is bland and has none of the bite that Tangy had.

They still sell Tangy Taffy here in NC!!!

PaulH and some others are right. If you tried Laffy Taffy and it wasn't the same, you may have bought the wrong one. I'm not sure why they have 2 different recipes, but they do. You must buy the bar that is the same size you remember as a kid (about 2x6 inches, 1.5 oz.). It comes in Grape, Strawberry, Cherry, and Watermelon and has a picture of a goofy monster on the front. Grape and Cherry taste almost exactly like Tangy Taffy used to, but Strawberry and Watermelon seem to lack some of the bite they had. However, the smaller bars and the rope size taste the same as Laffy Taffy has always tasted even though you can buy some of the same flavors. Far to sweet and no "tangy".
