taffy
Taffy is characterized by its high elasticity and stickiness, which distinguishes it from harder candies or softer fudges. It is strongly associated with coastal tourism and boardwalk culture, particularly in the United States, where the process of pulling the candy is often performed as a public spectacle.
As a mass noun, it typically refers to the substance of the candy in general. While it can be used countably when referring to specific types or flavors of the candy, it is most frequently treated as an uncountable substance.
