Twizzlers or GTFO.

[yumytaffy]

It makes me so sad that our friendship has ended over artificially colored licorice sticks.

[saucydiva]

Please continue to be my friend.

OR ELSE.

[throwingpens]

Now I understand why you have so many friends. You threaten them.

[emilyla]

I usually go for the rope variety, but I like pull n peel as well.

[throwingpens]

Now I'm starting to wonder if this has to do with where you're from. Because you guys grew up in the same area.

hMMMMMM

[saucydiva]

Which means you're converting soon

[throwingpens]

I mean I'm on team Twizzlers but I prefer the Pull N Peels to the ropes, though I strongly prefer the ropes to red vines.

[throwingpens]

Really the rope ones? The rope boring ones?

[popgurlie]

Licorice, in general, is gross. I grew up with Twizzlers but I never liked them.

The only worthwhile licorice is cherry shoelace licorice. That, I will eat like sweet, delicious spaghetti.

[throwingpens]

Tell me more about this.

[popgurlie]

i need to run to catch a bus but i will expound upon the wonders of shoelace licorice later :)

[yumytaffy]

You didn't ask me, but I'll assist popgurlie in her absence. Shoelace licorice is a really thin licorice that is softer in texture and comes in long strands. I will defend Red Vines forever in Red Vines vs. Twizzlers argument, but shoelace licorice might be better than either of those.

I no longer eat licorice (it apparently needs gluten to make it taste right?) but always and forever a Red Vines family. Twizzlers have a weird texture. Also, despite seeing Saturday morning TV commercials for them all through my childhood, I had never actually SEEN a Twizzler until I moved to Chicago. So I do think it is a regional thing.

Edited because: I think I told you before about the giant tubs of Red Vines being locked up at the retirement village Safeway by my house. So we know where the middle-aged and elderly of the East Bay stand.

[yumytaffy]

YES. Twizzlers texture was always a bit strange to me.

[throwingpens]

Yes, you have told me the story of the tubs of locked Red Vines, which makes me laugh uncontrollably.

I'm starting to think the geographic spread of licorice preferences is going to be the result.

though Her Holiness The Pope has informed me that I grew up everywhere, so I should like twizzlers twisted with Red Vines. So we'll see.

1. Gluten, really?

2. Never saw a Twizzler? WHAT?
