Is salt water taffy vegan? I've researched online but no luck.

From Wikipedia:

"Salt water taffy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_water_taffy) was a noted invention of Atlantic City, New Jersey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_City%2C_New_Jersey) and became a common souvenir of many coastal resort towns. Modern commercial taffy is made primarily from corn syrup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_syrup), glycerin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerin) and butter. However, the Laffy Taffy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffy_Taffy) and Airheads brands do not contain any animal-based products."

It says "However, the Laffy Taffy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffy_Taffy) and Airheads brands do not contain any animal-based products", which would mean those are vegan.

I've never had salt water taffy but we sell that laffy taffy at my work. It looks like melted tire rubber with colour added :o
