Ok, who was it here who said Red Vines were so much better than Twizzlers?!?? We were in the States recently and I picked up a jumbo bag of Red Vines on your recommendation. They are horrible! So waxy, and what exactly is the flavour supposed to be? They taste like stale bubble gum. Rant over (for now) *Twizzlers Forever*

I agree! Twizzlers are so much better. I won't touch Red Vines.

I don't think I've ever had Red Vines. I think Twizzlers also have a waxy consistency but does that stop me from eating them? No it doesn't.

I gag on Twizzlers - ick! I love love love Red Vines. My tastebuds, however, YMMV!

When my DH and I divorce, this will be the debate that drove us to court. It goes something like this. "Red Vines are nasty. Nasty! And if you are going to get Twizzler Bites don't get the cherry. You know I hate cherry flavored anything. For the love of God, how did I even marry you! We have nothing in common!"

Twizzlers. Red Vines are waxy and tasteless.

I gag on Twizzlers - ick! I love love love Red Vines. My tastebuds, however, YMMV! Scoot on over and make some room on the Red Vines bench. I do NOT lie Twizzlers but love a new pack of Red Vines. I also lie black licorice so not sure what that says about my tastebuds LOL.

blech!! I am so sorry for you!
I think the love for Red Vines is a regional thing, sort of like In and Out Burger.
It's Twizzlers all the way for me, too. (but cherry nibs are the absolute BEST, in my opinion... now I want some!)
ETA: I do LOVE black jellybeans, but black licorice? ick! And in my opinion, ANY licorice / vines / whatever are ALWAYS better when they're soft and fresh.

Twizzlers all the way. I think the recipe in Canada is a bit different than the USA recipe.
We had a test of USA Twizzlers, Red vine & CDN Twizzlers & the CDN Twizzlers won. Not as waxy & more flavourful.

Red Vines taste like Red Vines. In other words: perfection. I think Twizzlers are waxy with a weird texture.
Now I have to go to the store for Red Vines. Thanks.
(Ok, so I really had to go already for chocolate for band bake sale cakes, but there will be Red Vines in my cart now.)

Twizzlers! And they must be strawberry flavored.

see?? it would be interesting for everyone posting on this thread to say where they're from, to see if it IS a regional difference--
I <3 Twizzlers, and I grew up in the Midwest- specifically northern Illinois. (I'm not sure I ever even HAD Red Vines when I was growing up.)

Red Vines are gross, Twizzlers are yummy.
But I would walk past both for some really good black licorice. Love that stuff.

Red Vines - grew up in California
And one of the best things to do with Red Vines is to bite the ends off and use one as a straw for drinking your Diet Coke (used to be TAB). It gets all cold and hard. YUM!

Twizzlers. I don't think Red Vines were available where I live when I was younger, and I don't know anyone now who prefers them.

Both are not actual licorice, bit I find Twizzlers to have a horrible plastic taste. I am also a black licorice eater
