    I once found Twizzlers in a german supermarket for a lot of money. I bought it out of curiosity.

    Do you really like that stuff? I found it disgusting and threw it away.

      Never buy stuff from the american section. Shit is expensive as hell and not for human consumption.

      Densely populated areas buy the cheapest candy.

      The size/price ratio probably beats most other candies.

        Are Twizzlers and Red Vines not the same thing?? They look exactly the same but they don’t sell Red Vines in my part of the world so I legit always thought they were the same.

          Red vines are a single stick, hollow, delicious and the way red licorice is meant to taste. Using them as a straw is pretty much peak life.

          Twizzlers are smooth, rubbery, taste like plastic, likely are made of it, and instead of one stick, are small whips wrapped together to form a long one. No straw functionality, but the individual whips are a good size for strangling a mouse.

      Whereas I’m in the U.S. and I love European salty licorice (especially Dutch dubbel zout licorice). Almost no one here can stand licorice. When I tell them I like the salty kind, they stare at me in horror. When I tell them it’s salted with ammonia salts, they look like they want to scream.
