I know this is a longshot, but back in the late 90s or early 00s, I used to stop by a convenience store near I pool that I went to. I always called it surfboard taffy because I believed that the shape somewhat resembled a surfboard and had some tropical flavors. I thought that might have been its official name until Google searches yielded nothing.

It was 100% not Laffy Taffy. I would have totally remembered that. Its size was between the mini and the fullsize varieties, and I am fairly certain the wrapper had a color scheme reminiscent of the beach scene (sunset blend as well as some blue I think). The actual logo/design on the front I cannot recall.

Most certainly not.

Like I said, this was a longshot question to ask B8 with my hazy memory outside of a few details.

While I can't swear by it, I do not believe so unless they had multiple varieties where that was an option. I think the taffy was multi-colored.

No, it was much closer to being a Laffy Taffy type, but I would stake my life on it that it wasn't Laffy Taffy.

Was it this? I googled "taffy like laffy taffy" and this came up. Doesn't have the beach wrapper though so probably not.

Yeah, that is a long rectangle. This was more vertical and squarish.

I spoke with my sister about this, and she vaguely remembers what I am talking about but assumes it was one of those who-the-hell-knows kind of companies that started and remained in obscurity, so this is probably a lost cause.

If it helps, I'd say that it was about the size of a deck of playing cards, maybe just slightly thinner.

McCraw's Flat Taffy?
EDIT: Just kidding, this brand seems to have been suggested already with no such luck.

An old joke on a candy store proprietor's store being blown over in a storm, and his entire stock of taffy being soaked in sea water.
