What's the deal with Sponge Candy? I have seriously wondered this since I was a child.

"How come some sponge candy is lighter and more dense and others are a darker color and less dense? Is there a reason? I have seriously wondered this since I was a child and my parents would get sponge candy and some pieces would “melt” in your mouth faster than other pieces."
