Uncover the origin story of the classic lemon flavor that has charmed candy lovers for generations.
Delightfully Tangy. Brightly Sweet.
Lemonhead® candy has been puckering lips since its debut in 1962, when Nello Ferrara was inspired by his newborn son's lemon-like head. Using the same panning technique as Red Hots® candy, the Lemonhead® brand quickly became a hit with its unique blend of sweet and sour. With more than 60 years of history, Lemonhead® candy continues to bring its original zesty flavor through new varieties like ropes.
