RED VINES ONLY EXIST, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, ON THE WEST COAST. PEOPLE FROM HERE UNAMIMOUSLY PREFER THEM TO TWIZZLERS, WHICH THEY DON'T CONSIDER TO BE REAL LICORICE. WHEN I FIRST MOVED HERE, I HATED RED VINES, BUT HAVE SINCE LEARNED TO ENJOY THEM JUST FINE. I STILL VERY MUCH PREFER TWIZZLERS, HOWEVER.
