[Yosemite_Wolf]

Red baby.. RED!!! Im a sucker for RedVines. I also love the long smooth ropey red licorace.

[rimalicious]

Black. I remember chewing on aniset weeds (I think that's what they were called) when I was living in Sacramento and would go to the American River as a kid.

[TOT]

[Mibrew]

Once you go Black, ya can't go back....

red baby red...I always have one of those big buckets of red licorice in the house.

[Yosemite Joy]

Reeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddd.

[Coldwolf]

OK...the only real licorice is the black....the anisette weed..the anice seeds. That being said, I like black licorice just fine, but red... now red is a thing of beauty. A treat unsurpassed in the cheap candy category.


Just one question.


What flavor is red?

[Mysteefied]

strawberry

[electroman]

I always pick out all the black jelly beans before anyone else gets them. I remember buying bags of just black jelly beans - do they still them like that? (I guess I really don't get out much)

[Sandman]

So, am I the only one that hates licorice?

[monkey]

Looks like it, Mat. I onlu like the red. I used to like to take a bite out of each end and drink a 7up through it like it's a straw.

That is suprisingly good w/ Pepsi!

[Coldwolf]

strawberry

Ya think?? They make strawberry twizzlers too. Theres red, black, and strawberry.

Is the concensus that red vines are strawberry?



Next we try to figure out what flavor a circus peanut is. Those vaugely orange colored candies.

[Yosemite_Wolf]

I always thought that red licorice was cherry. I did see the strawberry twizzers today at vons. but i like the cherry flavour bestest.

I'm not sure what flavor they're supposed to be, but they've been around for a while - in 1964 some guy (I wish I could remember his name, because he was truly inspired) added cut up pieces of circus peanuts to Cheerios, and Lucky Charms were born! (and they're still magically delicious!

[Yosemite_Wolf]

Which is it, licorice or cherry?

licorice : US spelling of liquorice

liquorice : 1 a sweet, chewy, aromatic black substance made from the juice of a root and used as a sweet and in medicine.2a leguminous plant from which liquorice is obtained. [genus Glycyrrhiza; many species]

Maybe I'm just missing it, but I'm not seeing any reference to 'cherry'...

There is NO SUCH THING as red licorice, if it's RED, it ISN'T licorice by definition.

[Yosemite_Wolf]

what ever. it looks like licorice.. but its red and cherry flavoured.. or strawberry.. for those ppl who dont like the NASTY after taste of black licorice.

[BGW]

A box of redvines, a soda, and the Saturday afternoon movie....no parents or cousins to supervise!!! And, yes Monkey...there is nothing like a redvine straw with that soda!!

[CatdaBrat]

*CatdaBrat locks electroman in a cage for six months and feeds him only red and black licorice for being an unbeliever*

(Even though technically he is correct!)

[Yosemite_Wolf]

black licorice... or REAL licorice has a nasty aftertaste in the mouth. the cherry vines taste better http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif. Never tried to red vine straw with a soda tho.

[CatdaBrat]

I like both kinds, but if the black kind is a really good brand, I prefer that. There is a brand called American Licorice that is really good, and also a type from Australia that is REALLY good. It is very rich and tender. I have purchased it at Casa de Fruta.

I don't care much for those Twizzlers cherry flavor because they taste too artificial, but Red Vines and Red Ropes are great. Gotta watch out for that black stuff, though ... it's a laxative!

Oh, about black jelly beans (some call them babies). I always picked those out, too, or bought bags of jelly beans that were all black. Yum! Except, I don't care for cheap-o "jelly babies." I would walk off a cliff for Jelly Bellies, though. Especially the caramel apple, buttered popcorn, buttered toast, toasted marshmallow, juicy pear and cantaloupe. Oh, and raspberry! Help, stop me!

[LindaBo]

I Love the BLACK stuff http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/smoking.gif, but if you offer me the RED stuff i would not turn it down http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/mask.gif I remember as a kid how i got the Black stuff ALL over my face, but boy it was http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/clown.gif good!

If the two of us were locked in a room with a bag of Jelly Bellies I'm afraid there would be a fight http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif

Look out -- I know karate!

"Hand over the beans and nobody gets hurt, see?"

Yeah, what are you gonna do, punch me in the knee? http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif

[CatdaBrat]

Hmmm ... I might have to jump in order to reach, but can you stand real still while I get a chair? http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/wiseguy.gif

[BGW]

Sounds like the two of you need tomake a run to the Jelly Belly factory!!

There is nothing like discount Jelly Bellies. They sell the 3 and/or 5 pound bags of 'seconds' real cheap. Something like 3 bags for $12. Plus all the free samples you can eat!

I guess the next question is vine or shoelace?

[49er]

Never Black Licorice... Only RED.

[redneck_mama_559]

The black licorice is nasty. And the red licorice is the best, in my opinion.

[SierraSnows]

Black Licorce makes your teeth turn Black..Yuck. Red is the best..
