Twizzlers Twists Rainbow - United States Imported - 12.5 oz

The delivery was great and twizzlers are always good but the price is atrocious. That size package sells in the grocery store for $4.99. The seller has them way overpriced. Amazon is usually good at pricing but not this item.

I'm a lifelong fan of black licorice, esp Twizzlers, and I've eaten the red ones on occasion. Never tried these, which are a little more expensive, and I'm disappointed. They're fine, if you just want chewy candy, but I took "rainbow flavored" to mean the different colors represented different fruit flavors -- like Life Savers or Jelly Bellies. Nope. They all taste the same. Close your eyes and you can' tell what color you're eating.

Licorice is versatile: birthday parties, school lunches and holiday treats. I periodically keep a tub at the office to fend off co-workers who roam around in the afternoon, looking for a snack.Licorice requires tender, loving care. Unlike hard candy, which can (and often does) sit for months in the bottom of your grandmother's purse, licorice tastes best soft and fresh. Storage should be airtight and at room temperature. That favors Twizzlers Twists (Strawberry, 105-Count), which come individually wrapped — perfect for packing into school lunches. These twists are OU Kosher Certified and 30 calories per piece.The same can’t be said for Twizzlers Twists (Rainbow Assortment, 12.4-Ounce Bag), with six flavors: blue raspberry, grape, lemonade, orange, strawberry, and watermelon. The twists are OU Kosher Certified and 40 calories per piece. See my pictures to see how the bag easily tears.Of the two versions of Twizzlers, my sons (ages 13 and 12) prefer the individually wrapped strawberry twists. We had a birthday party with nine kids last weekend and you can see in the photos how many pieces from the rainbow assortment are still left. We sealed them up in a plastic bag, but I don’t expect them to be eaten soon.For years now, I’ve purchased four-pound tubs of Red Vines Red Licorice Twists for my kids. Red Vines are Star-K kosher-certified with no fat and only 140 calories per serving (five pieces/vines). My sons still favor Red Vines over Twizzlers because of the softer, more dough-like texture.Rating: Two stars

This product was delivered with the packaging completely open.

I was so happy to see all the different flavors of Twizzlers and even happier once I tasted them. They are legitimate contenders in the candy game now and totally worth the price. Not only are the flavors exciting but they taste excellent too. These are high quality licorices, made very well, by a great company. Get some today! You'll be glad you did!
