At Thanksgiving a friend of my daughter’s (he has a head, but I don’t post photos without permission of living people) and I had a discussion about red licorice. I said I loved Red Vines. He said that Twizzlers were unequaled.
We bought a five pound box of Twizzlers as a small gift for him for Christmas. On Christmas Eve he arrived at our house with a present for me. My daughter whipped out her camera since, unlike us, she knew what was about to happen. Sure enough, he had brought me a super size barrel of Red Vines. She quickly snapped the photo above(including his head!) and sent it to me.
The dentist probably is groaning, but two people got exactly what they wanted for Christmas.

How thoughtful but what is Red Vines? A band of licorice?

Yes. It is less sweet than many.

When I hear Red Vines, I think of “Fringe”. That was Water’s favorite candy. So glad you got something you love!

Red liquorice is a favourite here too, though we haven’t had any since my wife was diagnosed with Diabetes. The usual standby was ‘bootlaces’.

I loved those too. I used to buy ones imported from Sweden that weren’t too sweet.

Red Vines slightly stale for this girl

The lid is off the container as we speak waiting for them to dry out sufficiently.

So sweet! One of my buddies at school once asked me (in March) what to buy for his sister for her birthday. I suggested Soft toys since they are “every girl’s favourite”. Three months later, on my birthday, he brought a super-cute Monkey (soft toy), something he had bought the same day for me and kept safe for that long. In the following years, he became my best friend for her cared to listen and remember.
I hope the you had a Great Christmas and wish you a wonderful New year.

I like the chewiness that outdoes Twizzlers for me.

You did well indeed! I love red vines which we always called ‘red licorice’ growing up, though of course it is not. I used to love buying both and eating them together, the sweet red vines with the black licorice flavored ones. A penny a piece in those days!

I used to love black licorice more. I am not sure when I switched to red.
