When I was in Lithuania, I found some barberry-flavored candy that tasted very similar to Red Vines. I’ve never eaten an actual barberry, though.

Btw, my four-year-old (he’s actually five now) loves peas.

West-coast people may have admonished you for not having Red Vines, but I think they don’t understand how rare they are on some parts of the east coast. I hadn’t even heard of Red Vines until I was 25 years old.

This is the first I’ve heard of Super Ropes, but if they are really solid I think I’ll try look for them. I think I’d like Red Vines better if they were solid. (But perhaps the ones I tried were stale.)

The \”Red\” flavor is raspberry, if the original name of Red Vines (Raspberry Vines) in the early 1900s is any indication.

RESPONSE: Nope. The PR people for Red Vines told me it\’s Red flavor and it\’s a secret recipe :)

Yay, another Red Vines convert!

I’ve never seen Sour Punch Bites before. Do you know if they come in other flavors? I’m a big fan of the watermelon, in the original (?) straw shape. They taste just like sour wax, but somehow I love them.

RESPONSE: According to the site, it’s just sour apple and strawberry.
