Saltwater candy was coined in Atlantic City, NJ, by a candy store owner in 1883. His shop was flooded during a major storm that year, and the candy was ruined by flood water. A girl came in and asked for taffy, and jokingly, he told her he had "salt water taffy." Even though it was a joke, she was excited at the idea of something new, and bought it. Since then, that style of taffy has been trademarked as such.
