Twizzlers

Chewy red ropes

Twizzlers is a brand of chewy, twisted candy made primarily from corn syrup and wheat flour, most commonly in strawberry flavor though other varieties exist.

The bright red ropes have a distinctive texture—pliable but not sticky—and are often eaten by peeling apart the twisted strands or biting off the ends to use as a straw.

Twizzlers occupy a peculiar candy niche: widely available and often chosen at movie theaters, yet rarely anyone's passionate favorite.
