Hybrid Fruit Candies

This Father's Day, "Dad Things" are Being Traded for Laffy Taffy Fruit Combos

— June 1, 2023 — Lifestyle
Laffy Taffy is a brand that's known for sharing jokes on every wrapper and for the launch of the newest Laffy Taffy Fruit Combos, the brand is sending out packages of its latest candy for Father's Day. To receive free Laffy Taffy Fruit Combos, fans are being asked to share "the most unique combo of traits about their father figure."

With this initiative, the brand is likening "Dad Things" to the way its own candies inspire moments of connection and laughter. These shareable, individually wrapped candies will be shared with the first 1,000 families who submit their top combo of "Dad Things" online, and all participants will be automatically entered for their chance to win a starter pack that includes items like a lawn chair, socks and a golf towel.

The all-new candy combines two fruity flavors in one texture-rich mini-bar, like Mango-Passionfruit, Wildberry-Banana and Strawberry-Orange.
