Red Vines

Red vines are red liquorice candy, which is made by the American Licorice Company (and yes, we know they can’t spell liquorice properly but what can we do?) of California. Originally raspberry-flavoured when first produced in the 1920s, in 1952 they tweaked the flavour and now they are “Red Twist” flavour.  We have no idea what flavour that actually is, but try some, you might like it.  They do regular liquorice as well, if that’s more your thing.

Red Vines have a famous rivalry with Twizzlers; any fan of TV show Parks & Recreation will be familiar.
