Retro Meets Bold Flavour: Bonomo Turkish Taffy Banana at YEG Exotic
Step into a world of nostalgic sweetness with a treat that’s stood the test of time—Bonomo Turkish Taffy Banana. This chewy, crackable classic is now available at YEG Exotic, and it’s bringing retro candy vibes with a bold banana twist to Edmonton Candy lovers everywhere.
Whether you remember it from your childhood or you’re discovering it for the first time, this old-school American treat is an unforgettable addition to any candy collection. With its playful packaging, unique texture, and rich banana flavour, Bonomo Turkish Taffy isn’t just candy—it’s an experience.
A Bit of Sweet History
First introduced in the 1940s, Bonomo Turkish Taffy quickly became a candy aisle favourite. Unlike traditional chewy taffies, this version is smackable—yes, you read that right. Meant to be cracked on a hard surface before eating, it shatters into crunchy pieces that slowly melt in your mouth.
Despite the name, it’s not Turkish at all. Bonomo Turkish Taffy is a uniquely American invention, combining the best of brittle and chew into one satisfying treat. After disappearing from shelves in the late 1980s, it made a triumphant return in the 2010s, sparking joy for nostalgic candy lovers and attracting new fans alike.
And now? It’s arrived at YEG Exotic for a new generation of adventurous snackers to enjoy.
The Banana Flavour You Didn’t Know You Needed
The banana version of Bonomo Turkish Taffy is arguably its most iconic. As soon as you unwrap it, you’re hit with the sweet, creamy scent of classic candy bananas—that unmistakable flavour that walks the line between fruity and dessert-like.
Each bite offers a rich banana profile that feels indulgent yet familiar, with a smooth melt-in-your-mouth finish once it softens. Whether you prefer cracking it into bite-sized shards or letting it slowly bend as it warms in your hand, the experience is uniquely satisfying.
At YEG Exotic, we’ve found that candy bananas like Bonomo Turkish Taffy resonate with both retro candy collectors and flavour explorers alike. It’s a perfect blend of novelty, nostalgia, and indulgence.
