Because so many of the carts we cover are brand spankin' new, we often forget that street vending isn't a 2010 thing. It's been around for hundreds of years in this country!

Well, it's a hand pulled taffy stick, rolled in wax paper, in a variety of flavors. All the sticks are made fresh on the mule pulled cart, and sold for at 75 cents a piece.
