Love em? Hate em? What's your favorite kind?! I praise the berry-flavored pull-n-peel variety. So big and juciy!

Twizzlers are indispensible when at the movie theatre. And they're fat free!

I prefer the original Twizzlers to the rope-twisted ones. Even so, you can get a good batch and a bad batch. A bad batch is too hard to chew. A good batch is soft and smells good.

i don't understand the vast amount of sour candy that is popular. of course i don't like milk chocolate either. may not be the best judge of what should be popular.

Y&S Candies, the manufacturers of TWIZZLERS candy, is one of the oldest confectionery firms in the United States. The company was established in 1845 as Young and Smylie and adopted Y&S as its trademark in 1870. National Licorice Company was created in 1902 through the merger of three small firms: Young & Smylie, S.V. & F.P. Schudder and H.W. Petherbridge. The company changed its name to Y&S Candies Inc. in 1968 and was acquired by Hershey Foods in 1977.

Today TWIZZLERS candy is available in a variety of flavors and styles. Y&S produces strawberry, true black licorice, cherry, and chocolate flavored licorice-style candy.

I'll get Twizzlers at the movie theater, but only when there are not Hot Tamales available.

So it's non-licorice flavoured licorice? Weird. I like licorice though. Thanks Sgt.

Black licorice... *hurk*


Red Vines are far superior to twizzles in every way. :twisted:

How about "Swedish Fish"?
I love 'em.
And I've sung the "fish head" song every time I've eaten them for at least the last 15 years. :oops:

And Avatar, Twizzlers are licorice only in the loosest sense.
Just barely chewy, imo.

Meh, I always thought Red Vines were second-rate. I'll join in hurking over black licorice, though.

Twix's beat's them both. :P
