Airheads is a well-known chewy candy brand produced by Perfetti Van Melle – an Italian-Dutch company famous for its confectionery and chewing gum. First introduced in 1986, Airheads have since become a favorite among candy enthusiasts, especially kids and teens.
Airheads come in a variety of flavors, including classic fruit favorites like cherry, watermelon, blue raspberry, strawberry, orange, and green apple. There are also more exotic and unique options such as White Mystery, a flavor that’s undefined and changes periodically.
Airheads candies feature playful, colorful packaging that appeals to kids and teens. A notable characteristic is that these candies soften as you chew, making them easy and fun to enjoy. Typically, they’re long rectangular bars individually wrapped for convenient snacking on the go. Other formats and sizes are also available, such as Bites and Xtremes, which are smaller, bite-sized pieces.
