If you ever get a chance try wonka raspberry twister and you will definitely find a clear winner

People who like twizzlers better are just wrong. I grew up in Texas, and had both available my whole life. Twizzlers are like bland red vinyl. Red vines actually taste like candy. Solved.

Twizzlers are my favorite, but ONLY the strawberry flavor and NEVER the pull-and-peel variety (ick). I agree with Meg, it probably does depend on where you grew up. I have a friend who moved to the Midwest (where I grew up) after growing up for the most part in the Northwest and she can’t get enough of Red Vines and hates Twizzlers. I tried Red Vines on her recommendation. I don’t hate them but I usually feel sick after eating an entire (small) bag of them. I don’t like the taste – it definitely tastes waxy to me.

I would love to see someone do a taste test of these – someone who has never had either brand.

i haven’t tried either ( none in england) but ive got some off the internet (should be here today) just because of starkid :L but i think all these arguments over which is better are invalid, it looks like it depends which you grew up eating.

I just had my very first twizzler – cherry
and they were nasty! It took an effort for me to finish it.

Oh and you werdos stop crying about how there candy twists and not that disgusting black licirice that my 97 year old grama likes. That stuff is nasty. People call strawberry candy twists like ppl call tissue kleenex. Get over it.

I’m from Glendale Cali, I grew up eating Red Vines, loving it! Still do, it’s still my favorite, however, I ate Twizzlers about 4 years ago, and my first time eating it was disgusting, I hated the fake looking plastic waxy look, and the taste. Now, every time I go somewhere, even though Red Vines are my favorite, I HAVE TO HAVE TWIZZLERS WITH ME! I have grown to actually like it a lot! So i’m practically on both sides!
