Salt water taffy was developed in the late 1800s by Joseph Rowling in Atlantic City. Truth is this taffy has no salt water in it, and instead got its name from its proximity to beach waters, which obviously contain salt. Stores can run about 2,000 pounds of taffy a day. The process starts with corn syrup and lots of it. Salt water taffy is worked at room temperature, a much lower temperature than hard candy. If the salt water taffy is fruit flavored, then citric acid and coloring is added. A cooling machine stretches the taffy while liquid flavor is added. Candy makers stretch the taffy to add in air. That gives the taffy a chewy consistency. Next, the batch is placed into a batch roller and turned into a cylindrical shape. It is then cut, wrapped and sealed.

And the TV host picked up the taffy blob in her arms and probably got a nice wax job. An episode of "Small Town Big Deals" with Jann Carl brought me here. She did the same thing, but she wasn't wearing an apron and her hair draped over the taffy. This place should be reported to the health department.

That story of the origin of salt water taffy is an urban myth from my hometown of Atlantic City. The real story is Joseph Fralinger who founded Fralinger’s Salt Water Taffy in Atlantic City in 1882 simply made it up as a marketing tool to get tourists to think there was some extra special novelty about his product because it was made near the salt water of the Atlantic Ocean.

Making content sounds easy but we all know you need to have the right materials and a good content in order to earn money. 1000 subscribers and 10000 watch hours, I believe, in order for you to apply for the monetization.
