SDC would make a killing on merchandise with an off season store.

$6.00 lb at this site vs Dollywood's $8.00 lb. I know the idea of having the taffy you are used to is why someone would pay $2.00 more per lb to get the DW stuff in the off season. I am sure there is better Taffy than SDC, but the idea for me of taking a bag home is always in my head as having a part of the park, when I am not there-despite the fact that I am fully aware that the taffy is not even made on site! I am unsure if this is the supplier for SDC, some of the varieties are similar in look/ design, but there are a couple that do not match. Only one way to find out...Someone needs to buy some and do a side by side taste test.

I think junior, or maybe copper told us that part of the taffy is coming from a supplier in salt lake city..

I only found 2 websites for that.

. I would like to find SDC's supplier.. for off season purchases...

oh well.. $:-\$

So what flavor would you use for "Fire in the Hole" taffy? "Flooded Mine"? "Lost River"? "Giant Swing"? "American Plunge"?

rubedugans · January 31, 2011, 11:32:52 PM

I don't know about a flavor, but Flooded Mine should be a white taffy base with Black Stripes (but it would end up looking like the black licorice which is not a hit with the kiddos)

They could rename the red/white red licorice to coencide with the targets (If you haven't seen them they are red/ white bullseye type designs/ spiral)

I tried a corner of the stuff and about died of heat-inhaleation. My dad can eat and eat and eat the stuff.......I think he done burned his tounge off!!!

Every piece has a different level of heat as the cinnamon must be distributed unequally. The same is true of Atomic Fireballs.

light me up!

sanddunerider · February 26, 2011, 11:14:32 AM

Well it had to happen..

Very sad day in my household

A terrible personal loss for me

I finally ran out of taffy!!!!!

Did pretty well making it last from OTC, But it is all gone now..

I hope I can make it 3 more weeks..

Condolensces will be accepted, and any memorial donations can be paid to SDC next time your there.

I have 12 pieces of Taffy left in general...gonna be a long month until I can get there!

History Buff · February 26, 2011, 06:15:25 PM

Taffy has been known to remove a filling or two - I can't allow myself to chew it.

I like living on the edge
