    I love cherries and cherry flavoured food but Twizzlers are as close to cherry as velveeta is to a wheel of aged cheddar.

    It’s true, they do taste like that. I like the cherry pull-apart ones better, at least they aren’t as much plastic filler.

    But I hate the smell of those red licorice vines when people buy them in movie theaters, it’s like an overwhelming smell of decaying sugary prechewed gum or something.

      In 2005 I PM’ed and produced the Road Trippin’ with Red Vines promotion and sweepstakes.

      They sent us like 200 packs. Even though they were a novelty in our country because they weren’t available here, we couldn’t give them away - they were disgusting lol

      Part of it was that we are used to the Twizzlers flavor but part of it is that they are just poor quality and very bad tasting.

      I take two Skittles and put them between two Starbursts. I call it Andy’s Mouth Surprise. It’s nice because the flavor of the Starbursts really bring out a similar flavor in the Skittles.
