CherryHead
Lemonhead is an American brand of candy that was first introduced in 1962 and is produced by the Ferrara Candy Company. Lemonheads are a round, lemon flavored candy consisting of a sweet coating, a soft sour shell, and a hard candy core.
Inspiration for the Lemonhead name came from Salvatore Ferrara seeing his grandson, Salvatore II, after delivery. Salvatore II was a forceps baby and he noted that his new grandson's head was lemon shaped.
The candy was born out of the same cold panned process as the company's Red Hots in 1962. In this process, layer after layer of sugar and flavor are added until the candy reaches the desired shape and size. They are most commonly sold in their standard 1 centimeter size, but they are also produced in a single-sale 3 cm version. Lemonhead candies are gluten and fat-free. Ferrara now makes 500 million Lemonheads per year.
Some time between the 1980s and late 1990s, Ferrara Pan brought all of their fruit flavored candies under a consistent naming convention: Lemonheads, Grapeheads (formerly Alexander the Grape), Cherryheads (formerly Cherry Chan/Cherry Clan) and Appleheads. Today, only the standard Lemonhead variety remains.
