Is it safe to swallow laffy taffy?

nope. It's just caramel with flavorings. However, it's really really sticky, and L.T stuck between your teeth can be a major pain. Don't eat it with braces, and yes, you will get caught trying to eat it in class. I would know :) It has 160 calories in one bar of L.T and 20 of those are fat. So it's pretty much equivalent to eating 1 1/2 granola bars.
