We all have those sweet childhood memories, and Airheads are definitely on the list for many. But according to the "wisdom" of TikTok, you might be missing out on a crucial step that unlocks the true Airhead experience.
Prepare to Have Your Mind Blown (Maybe?)
So you pick up one of these weird, waxy candy strips and like normal people, you unwrap your Airhead and eat it in three or four bites - kind of like a fruit roll up. Some of your friends may be known to do weird things to it with your tongue. But TikToker Jordan The Stallion says you're an airhead for eating it this way - don't worry, he says he was doing it wrong, too. He says they're meant to be shaken relentlessly inside their wrapper until they transform into a miniature, flavor-enhanced, pillowy little cube.
Apparently, this vigorous shaking not only changes the Airhead's form, but some claim it unlocks a whole new taste dimension. We're talking next-level Airhead nirvana here. I mean, they're waxy and a little weird. Can shaking the air out of them actually improve their taste and texture?

But Is This Airhead Alchemy Actually Legit?
The official Airhead jury is still out on this whole shaking business. The company hasn't exactly endorsed this "revolutionary" technique. In fact, a former Airhead factory insider hilariously chimed in, basically calling the whole thing a hoax.
So, To Shake or Not to Shake? That is the Question
Look, if shaking your Airhead into oblivion brings you joy, then by all means, shake away! Just don't be surprised if it mostly results in tired arms and a slightly denser (but likely no more flavorful) piece of candy.
At the end of the day, however odd, Airheads are for sure a nostalgic little treat. Whether you savor them in long, flat strips, suck them into a weird floppy point, or shake them into tiny cubes - who cares what the internet says. The important thing is to enjoy them your way.
