Twizzlers are so plasticky, I just noticed. I wish I had some Red Vines, even though my dentist wouldn't approve. What say you?

I think Red Vines are more of a west coast thing. I like red vines better than twizzlers, but the 'australian red licorice' from Trader Joe's even more. Or the fruit-flavored twists at Amish markets that dye your mouth strange colors.

I used to live a couple of miles away from a Twizzler plant in Lancaster, PA. When the wind was right, I could smell them all day and all night. I liked them as a kid -- but have manage to avoid them as an adult. I never heard of Red Vines.

There is very little candy I don't like, but these viney things are it. It's the texture. It's like scraping the gook around the mouth of a jam jar and eating that.

What are red vines?

On the east coast, you can sometimes find them in Target or Walmart, usually in the candy aisle in these big tubs not near the register.

You can get that huge tub for like $5 at Costco. I have to look into the Trader Joe's version.

Red Vines!! Twizzlers taste like plastic to me too!!

Ugh. Both are gross. Why would I want to chew wax?

What he said. I don't like black licorice either. Not chocolate, what's the point?

Twizzlers!!!!!!!!!

I don't think they sell red vines in canada. At least I've never seen them.

Rainbow Twizzlers.

Depends what mood I'm in and how fresh the red vines are. Most of the time I prefer Twizzlers, but every once in a while I'll get a craving for Red Vines, especially the very fresh, extra soft ones.

I also like nibs, which are made by Twizzlers.

Now here's a question : cherry or strawberry Twizzlers? Yes, there are two interchangeable main flavors, depending on where you buy them.

VS.

strawberry.

Strawberry!!!
What's a redvine? The Cherry one reminds me of Nyquil. ick.

Both! And strawberry for the Twizzlers.

and Black Licorice is amazing, I'll be glad to take any and all of your black jelly beans."

Mmm, I love black jelly beans too. They stopped including them in regular bags of jelly beans, fuckers.

Where in Canada are you Lila? I'm collecting Canadians, and I need to enter the data on my spreadsheet.

Mental health check on Barb.

What Stacia said. I'm sure I've had red vines but can't remember the difference between them and Twizzlers.

Cherry Twizzlers. There's something not quite right about the strawberry.

There's also cherry Nibs, are those made by the same company?

Nope. She's serious--has even started a separate thread for Canadians:

Cape Breton Island by!

I like the TWIZZLERS pull and peels. Also, black licorice is the bomb!

I don’t like Twizzlers so much... I’ve never had ‘Red Vines’.

I like Nibs.

Cape Breton is beautiful. I have family in PEI and used to spend my summers there. Sigh. Every time I go, it gets harder to leave.

twizzlers forever!

Yes, nibs are made by Twizzlers and they are cherry only as far as I know. Love em.

Yes it is beautiful. The whole east coast is from the scenery to the people.

Eeew....Those taste like play-doh to me.

You don't like play-doe flavor? ;)

It's not high on my list, I'll admit.

I was in the store eyeballing the Red Vines and Twizzlers today (they had both) but I couldn't get excited about either. I got some Hot Tamales.

I also noticed they were selling Sweet and Sour Filled Twizzlers. Filled with a second flavor. Those didn't sound too good.

They don't sound good. I'm not a fan of the pull and peel variety either.

I ♥ Hot Tamales! I haven't had them in years though.

I also noticed there was a new flavor of Mike & Ike: Italian Ice. I'm not a Mike & Ike eater so I passed.

Red Vines. I can eat a whole pack in one sitting. I can't gag down Twizzlers.

Hot Tamales ROCK, Alecia!

I've never had Hot Tamales. I don't like most chewy, fruit flavored candy. Oddly, I don't find the fear of having my fillings pulled out that enjoyable. Gummi bears, no thank you!

I do like Bit O'Honey (delicious!), though, and those are really sticky.

Hot Tamales are cinnamon flavored and yeah, they are pretty sticky if I remember correctly. But I love cinnamon flavored candy, gum, tooth paste, etc. I just don't eat much candy. I did have Starbursts for the first time in forever the other day though, my teeth hurt for hours after that. I think I need to go see the dentist. :(

hot tamales are awesome...and hot lips...and gummie bears....even if they kill my teeth.

I hate gummy bears and like Bit OHoney.

Oh yay. We've established that Jackie and the crone are candy buddies.

I like Hot Tamales and Bit O Honey.

My objection to Gummi Bears is the lack of flavor. Cinnamon bears, on the other hand, are awesome!

Me too, Jim.

Sallers, who's "the crone"?

Ah, got it. The avatar. Makes sense.

I loved Hot Tamales, but I gave them up for the sake of my teeth.
