National Taffy Day
May 23 is National Taffy Day—and where better to celebrate than the Jersey Shore?! After all, salt-water taffy was created in Atlantic City in 1883, supposedly after candy maker David Bradley’s store was flooded by seawater during a major storm. Celebrate the quirky holiday by picking up a tin of the sticky sweet treat at a candy shop near you:
