NFTs Are Already a Joke, How about a Laffy Taffy?
The jokes on Laffy Taffy were never actually that funny, if you could even read the tiny font on the bite-sized packaging. But the classic looks of the jokes are just nostalgic enough to be sellable, so here comes candy company Ferrara dipping into its past and trying to market the jokes found inside old pieces of candy as something you can “own,” or at least the digital version of it. The NFTs were announced July 13 and were being given away for free to users July 20.
Update 7/27/2022 at 9:50 a.m. ET: This slide was amended to correct that the NFTs were not up for sale, but were part of a free consumer giveaway.
