Ah, Laffy Taffy. As far as candy goes, it's pretty okay. But the REAL draw of Laffy Taffy is the joke on the wrapper, right? I mean, who could POSSIBLY resist the riotous pun-laden humor of the Laffy Taffy Joked Submission Brigade.
Okay, I imagine that a LOT of people find Laffy Taffy jokes unfunny. Those people are DOING IT WRONG! Yes, there is a right way to read Laffy Taffy wrappers, and it'll increase your enjoyment of both the candy and the comedy a hundredfold.
The Braddy Laffy Taffy technique is simple, but it must be executed precisely - you must read the punch line for the OPPOSITE joke. Allow me to demonstrate with the wrapper I have before me:
Rebekah P. asks: Which runs faster, hot or cold?Get it? SANDY CLAWS!
Answer: They both have sandy claws.
You don't get it? Well, let's look at the other pair:
Thomas B. asks: What does Christmas have to do with a cat in the desert?See? It really IS better!
Answer: Hot. Everyone can catch a cold.

You still don't agree, hmm? Maybe I'm the only one who finds surreality so engaging.
