The rheology of saltwater taffy by Chan, San To, Haward, Simon J., Fried, Eliot, McKinley, Gareth H.

“…As a sufficiently high frequency is exceeded, taffy transitions from a critical gel-like state to an elastic solid-like state. The master curve can be described by the fractional Maxwell gel (FMG) model with three parameters: a plateau modulus, a characteristic relaxation time, and a power-law exponent. …”
