The renowned AirHeads candy was invented by the Perfetti Van Melle firm in 1986! These goods, which are produced in Kentucky, USA, have been a favourite across the country for almost 40 years! The bars on the original AirHead are moulded and compressed in the same manner as when you were a kid playing with Playdoh! Before being cut down to bar size, soft and chewy AirHeads candy is pressed and moulded via a number of moulds and rollers.
