In the whirlwind of Halloween releases—from pumpkin spice deodorant to skeleton-shaped gummies—Airheads has thrown something truly unique into the cauldron this season: a cherry-scented foot spray. Yes, you read that right. Just when we thought we’d seen every Halloween gimmick, Airheads, the brand known for its tangy taffy, decided that our feet deserve a little candy-inspired love, too.
But why a foot spray, and why cherry?
“Trick-or-Treat, Smell My Feet”
This Halloween-themed foot spray might seem offbeat, but Airheads has a playful reasoning behind it. Taking the classic childhood rhyme, “trick-or-treat, smell my feet,” the brand decided to deliver on that promise—literally. Rather than the usual fruity sprays for cars, rooms, or even clothing, Airheads took their signature cherry scent and aimed it straight at your sneakers.
So, what’s the experience like? Imagine stepping out of your shoes after a long day and getting a whiff not of, well, the usual foot funk, but of cherry sweetness. According to Airheads, the spray is intended to “frighten away bad smells” while bringing a fruity freshness. And Craig Cuchra, Airheads’ VP of Marketing, couldn’t be prouder. As he puts it, “This spray really gives that ‘trick-or-treat, smell my feet’ song a whole new meaning—now people might just want to give them a sniff.”
Cherry Candy…for Your Feet?
Airheads’ new release is a lovely novelty. Packaged in a big red bottle shaped like—you guessed it—a foot, the cherry-scented spray takes its inspiration straight from the candy aisle. Think of it as a fruity, fun twist on the usual foot sprays, adding that signature cherry scent known to candy lovers everywhere. The quirky design and unmistakable cherry scent make it a playful Halloween keepsake, something you’d bring out each October just for the smiles and giggles.
Cherry is a scent many of us associate with childhood treats. One whiff of this spray, and you’re instantly transported to those days of unwrapping a candy bar or popping open a bag of Airheads at recess. It’s nostalgia bottled up for your feet—though some may say it’s a smell they’d rather save for snacks.
A Playful Take on Halloween Scents
Halloween is known for its pumpkin spices, apple cider, and cinnamon brooms—but Airheads is shaking things up by showing us there’s room for a bit of fun outside the typical fall fragrance wheelhouse. This release follows a trend we’re seeing with candy brands getting creative, moving beyond the candy aisle and into new product categories. We’ve had Skittles candles, Reese’s lip balms, and even candy-scented hand sanitizers, but Airheads has taken it to the next level by choosing, of all things, a foot spray.
While the idea of feet smelling like cherry candy may sound surprising, it’s in line with a broader trend of unexpected Halloween launches. Candy brands are increasingly tapping into the playful spirit of the holiday, bringing their scents and flavors to products you’d never expect. Airheads’ foot spray might be a bit offbeat, but that’s what makes it such a perfect fit for Halloween—a holiday where weird and whimsical reign supreme.
Will this cherry-scented foot spray replace your usual go-to deodorizing products? Probably not. But for those of us who love Halloween, candy, or just a good laugh, it’s a fun way to add a little extra flavor to the season. It’s a cheeky way to let your feet “dress up” for Halloween without a costume, and for a holiday centered on candy, there’s something oddly satisfying about bringing that same sweetness to every part of your outfit (including your feet.)
Nostalgia and Novelty Rolled into One
Halloween is a holiday that thrives on the unexpected, and Airheads’ cherry foot spray certainly delivers. With its bright red, foot-shaped bottle and unmistakable candy scent, it’s both a trip down memory lane and a hilarious twist on seasonal trends. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of cherry Airheads or just looking for a conversation starter, this product fits the bill.
So, why not “treat your feet” this Halloween? Whether you’re out trick-or-treating, hosting a costume party, or just staying in and watching scary movies, this foot spray adds a fun, fruity twist to your night. And who knows? You may just start a new Halloween tradition—one fragrant step at a time.
Happy Halloween!
