Airheads

Tangy taffy brand

Airheads is a brand of chewy, tangy fruit candy sold in brightly colored strips.

The name plays on the slang term airhead, suggesting something light and fun rather than substantial.

I grabbed some Airheads at the gas station. (Lowercase airheads refers to unintelligent people.)
