Red Vines Licorice, Original Red Flavor Soft & Chewy Candy Twists, 3.5 lbs, 56 Ounce

Very fresh They were like “seconds” due to several partial and cut pieces But DID NOT AFFECT FLAVOR! Love this Red Vine Licorice

Okay, confession time: I have a serious weakness for Red Vines. Like, a serious weakness. This giant jar is both a blessing and a curse because I just can't seem to stop reaching for them! The classic red flavor is so nostalgic and satisfying – that perfect chewy texture and just the right amount of sweetness. I love that they come in this big resealable jar too, because let's be real, these things don't last long in my house. It's perfect for movie nights, road trips, or just, you know, whenever the craving hits. And the fact that they're fat-free and low sodium? Well, that just makes it easier to justify polishing off half the jar in one sitting, right? Don't judge me! If you're a Red Vines fan, you know what I'm talking about. Five stars – and maybe I should order another jar now...before this one disappears!

I confess I've never understood the appeal of this product, which suggests nothing to me that's associated with the candy "licorice" or the flavor "strawberry." But I was attracted by the carousel container and the undeniable value of this much "time-Killing" candy. It arrived the day after my order in a package secure enough to hold a small computer or a mirror (so often Amazon packages are torn, bent, partially crushed. The Red Vines people obviously treated their product with care and respect. Moreover, the fetching fragrance hit me even before I'd removed the shiny blue cover. Getting to the heart of the matter, I've never tasted Red Vines as fresh and satisfying as this batch, which must have come from the candy vats minutes after my order. The texture is soft and palate-pleasing, not a hard and tough, dried-out section in the entire batch. So what does it taste like? The flavor is red--take it from there. I guess it has a somewhat artificial flavor, like red Kool-aid, or the flavors used to disguise medicinal liquids. If so, the flavors have never performed as enticingly as these seductive sticks. I'll remain a fan of Twizzler's Peel-n-Pull Cherry Candy, but for a lighter and less-addictive treat, Red Vines have never made a stronger case. And this value price makes it all the easier to succumb to their mysterious allure.

Red Vines Licorice, Original Red Flavor Soft & Chewy, is a classic treat that delivers on both taste and texture. The soft and chewy consistency makes each bite enjoyable without being overly tough. The original red flavor is a perfect balance of sweetness and subtle fruity notes, making it a delightful snack for licorice lovers. The resealable packaging keeps the licorice fresh and convenient for sharing or enjoying over time. Whether you're a long-time fan or trying Red Vines for the first time, this licorice is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and bring a nostalgic smile to your face.

As always, fresh and flavorful-when shipped directly from the factory, as this purchase was. I actually prefer the candy to be a bit stiffer than when its this fresh, so I try to leave the container open in a/c weather to help it dry out a little without attracting ants.

- "Taste?" Well, there are other versions of red licorice to which I'd give higher grades but, that said, I not only have already re-ordered 'Red Vines' but as a DOUBLE order. (Kids simply adore it, I've found, and the huge quantity in the 3.5 pound tub means these needn't be doled out one twist at a time.) - ALL PIECES received intact, unlike some other reviewers who've complained about getting bits 'n pieces. - Freshness factor = absolutely perfect; shipping time = very good. - Once again, as a candy aficionado, I have tasted better versions and yet this product is completely acceptable or I'd surely not have re-ordered.

I LOVE ME SOME RED VINES LICORICE! ONE OF THE BEST LICORICES EVER!

It’s freaking red vines. They are awesome. Fresh, great taste, outstanding price. Bang for the buck, you can’t go wrong

Delicioso, llego en excelente estado y bien sellado. Lo compraría de nuevo.

Son deliciosos. Me di un gusto de un producto que en algún momento prove y compraba en Costco. Me encantan.

Arrived 4th Jan 2024, best before date 22 August 2024. No problems there, though I expect they would be fine for many months after the bbf date. They look like they would taste like our regular red licorice, the stuff used in strawberry laces. But the screen time they get made me think they must be more than strawberry laces. Sadly, I am the victim of years of product placement, they are nothing special, same as what you would get in a picknmix (if you can find one of those anymore). A soft chew with a mild flavour, they are very nice, but then a packet of any gummy sugary flavoured type sweet is also very nice. Glad I tried them, I will have to try twizzlers next, but I suspect they will be a similar anti climax :)

So good! Hard to find. I bought them for my birthday

Very tasty and Moorish, well packed and good delivery.
