Maybe its just me, but black licorice tastes like what id imagine anise tastes like

Fixed that for you.

 

[LethaL ImpuLse]

What the hell?

Yeah, lived in Texas all my life and I've never heard of them before this thread. Lots of Twizzlers down here though. I can't be the only one who has never had them :\

 

[Anticitizen One]

I'm gonna have to go with Red Wines

I've seen plenty of Redvines in the Houston and Austin areas. You can generally buy them in the big 2 pound or whatever tubs.

I don't think I've ever had RedVines. Where can you get them?

Most stores that have a candy section should have them. I see them more often in the tubs than in smaller packs in places where they aren't too prevalent (Texas, for one).

 

[Fantastical]

I only had Red Vines just recently and when I had it I thought it was just some cheap knock off of Twizzlers that tasted like complete shit.

Then I found out people actually liked them, and more than Twizzlers. Mind blown.

You know you're eating fine ass if it tastes like licorice.

ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED STRAWBERRY TWISTS:

 

[jadedm17]

Those individually wrapped for freshness Twizzlers? They win.

But then I'm biased against family bags of Twizzlers because I'd eat a bag a day when I was a young fat kid. :\

 

[NGAMER9]

I'd have to say Twizzlers are better than Red Vines, but only by a slight amount.

 

[Ominym]

Red Vines.

NOTHING IS MORE AUTHENTIC THAN RED VINES.

Kid Rock is.

Also, One more vote for Red Vines.

 

[Slayer-33]

Twizzlers taste like plastic.

are the way to go.

Wat!?!? Red vines tastes like ACTUAL plastic dude :lol

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Twizzlers simply because of these incredible treats

fucking delicious and sadly discontinued

 

[T-Matt]

Red vines. But I need to try that Panda stuff, I've been wanting some licorice.

 

[squinters]

These are the only good twizzlers,but boy do they taste amazing:

Though if it's regular Twizzlers vs Red Vines, then Red Vines hands down.

 

[Instro]

Twizzlers are the correct answer.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Nothing to fight about, Red Vines obviously win.

 

[HiResDes]

Red vines. But I need to try that Panda stuff, I've been wanting some licorice.

They don't make red Pandas?

 

[Deleted member 1235]

OK america, I no longer blame you for being fatties as my flatmate just got back from US and had a sackful of twizzlers.

Pull and Peel is greater than this red vine shit that I've never heard of (until I taste it and possibly change opinions).

honestly though this is the best tasting stuff I've ever eaten and if I didn't leave NZ I'd probably have no teeth left

http://www.rjslicorice.co.nz/

I'm talking about the red stuff only. Twizzlers comes in second to this goodness.

 

[KtSlime]

They don't make red Pandas?

They do, and they are great. However some people call them lesser pandas... But no, really Panda is where it is at.

Panda also has the best ingredients: Molasses, wheat flour, licorice extract, natural flavor (aniseed oil)

 

[HiResDes]

My Finnish friend says these put everything to shame:

 

[polyh3dron]

Redvines taste like wax.

Twizzlers have an awesome intense flavor and they feel more solid.

I've been hearing this in the thread, however I don't understand, I have always considered twizzlers to be waxy, redvines has no oil in it, so I don't understand how it can feel/taste like wax. If anything it feels more doughy, or rubbery.

Is the recipe different in different regions of the US?

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Redvines. Fuck twizzlers.

 

[Ridli]

Red Vines + Dr. Pepper = Crazy Delicious

 

[Sp3eD]

Redvines for me easily. Twizzlers taste like wax.

These are a close 2nd if you can actually find them.

Grapevines are soo sooooooo good.

 

[Foxy Fox 39]

Grapevines are soo sooooooo good.

Whaaaaa? Count another for Redvines. They just tast better. Though Sour sprinkled twizzlers win all.

Ii just think Vines taste more real and authentic. Its like for me at least Little Caesers vs Pizza Hut or something.

 

[Poyunch]

Redvines taste like wax.

I think you may have those two descriptions mixed up. :lol

 

[hiro4]

I know now what to ask for the Candy Swap! :lol

 

[Trent Strong]

Kid Rock is.

Also, One more vote for Red Vines.

:lol

 

[GhaleonQ]

Kookaburr-,
er, Super Ropes (from the Red Vines people) > Twizzlers > Red Vines

 

[Marvie_3]

Red Vines.

 

[Shaneus]

As someone "down under" who has to pay rather exorbitant moneys for either, I vote Red Vines. Less plasticy, more sugary. Win.

Red Vines + Red Vines = Crazy delicious


PS. Someone send me some Grape Vines. Dayumn.

 

[TylerD]

I have never had Red Vines so I say Twizzlers but I wouldn't be surprised if Red Vines were superior in every way. I do like Twizzlers Pull and Peel though.

 

[akachan ningen]

sour twizzlers are the best.

 

[TheLastCandle]

I always liked the fruit flavored twizzlers that came in a rainbow colored pack. I hate the red varieties of both.

 

[djtiesto]

Twizzlers have no taste whatsoever, RedVines taste slightly like cough medicine but for some reason are strangely addicting.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

without a doubt!

 

[Bricfa]

Twizzlers are among the shittiest forms of candy. Never had (or even seen) red vines, but I can't imagine they could be much better.

 

[Cuban Legend]

I tried both Twizzlers and Red Vines before and they were both tasteless dry strands of colored elastic shit in my mouth.

Spit it out immediately onto ground where they belong. Yuck.

 

[ToxicAdam]

My gripe about Twizzlers is that you have to eat them immediately upon opening, otherwise they taste like rubber. I prefer them only because I grew up with them.


Licorice is a lot like Jelly Beans for me. They all pretty much taste the same and no brand is significantly better/worse than another (aside from the real generic shit).

 

[LM4sure]

Don't know that I've ever had Redvines but Twizzlers are pretty good. I think those ones that peel apart.

 

[Prince of Space]

Twizzlers taste like plastic. RED VINES 4 LYFE SON!

 

[spunibard]

First Red Vines bag I ate was DELICIOUS. Two other bags I've gotten have been gross. These other bags the vines are all shredded- are these rancid bags or something? Does that happen alot with red vines? I want the delicious again but I'm afraid to buy another bag and have it suck.

And I think Twizzlers are bleh.

 

[Leatherface]

RED VINES by a MILE! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Twizzlers.

 

[painey]

Twizlers are manky. When I was in the States I picked some up because i'd seen them on tv and stuff but had no idea they were so sickly, so I put them in the coffee maker and made this huge red gelatinous blob, which I then flushed down the loo.. but it wouldn't flush.

 

[diehard]

The best.

 

[Wanace]

Both are disgusting in their own way, but if I had to choose I'd pick Twizzlers.

 

[Neo Child]

fuck sake look at all this food we dont get in the UK, oh to live in the us

 

[xaosslug]

This. Red vines are made of wax . Twizzlers are made of delicious.

Twizzlers taste like wax. Red Vines taste delicious.

 

[Threi]

twizzle ma nizzle
