 Tasty chewy cherry goodness!Jul 26, 2009
By Paul J. Ste Marie
These are great. Lots of (undoubtedly artificial) cherry flavor, and not doughy like Twizzlers Cherry Nibs. Just perfect!

yum!Jun 14, 2011
By a.
I like these but if you eat too many (a whole pack) you may well feel a little worse for ware! It's hard to stop though...they are yummy!
Great when they are freshAug 21, 2011
By Larry L. Hoffman
The last batch of Twizzlers that arrived on a quarterly auto order were the freshest I've received. I give away over half the order because they are too addictive to keep around.

Michelle Obama's Great ChallengeJan 02, 2012
By Samuel Chell
Michelle Obama has taken on a number of tough assignments, including supporting our returning Veterans through the process of healing, re-entering society, and finding employment. In addition, she has taken on the challenge of chairing the President's Fitness Council, initiating on her own a program, "Let's Move," with the focus on "thinning" out America's youth through physical activity and wise diet choices.
Both are highly worthy causes, and both are being championed by an unusually focused, determined and persuasive First Lady. Not that she requires any advice in the latter role, but were I in a position to give it, I'd have to warn her about Pull 'n' Peel Cherry Twizzlers. They may not contain the fat of the much-maligned products from the fast-food industry, but they represent, for the most part, "empty" calories, or sugar, and in amounts sufficient to exhaust the adrenal glands and insulin reserves of an elephant much less a growing child.
O.K., I'm exaggerating, but from the viewpoint of a recovering Cherry Twizzler "Pull 'n' Peel" addict, what may strike some as hyperbole is pure common sense from some of us who have had one bag, or one stick, too many. Of course, the real danger of this particular candy is not the sugar/calorie content of a single stick ("serving" is the term used by the makers), which for the record amounts to 110 calories. The challenge is simply one of practicing moderation. (Made none the easier by the directions printed on the bag, which encourage youngsters to "tie knots," "make edible jewelry," share the sticks with friends or "just have all for yourself."
That's a tempting invitation, one I have would difficulty resisting but no trouble completing. There are 12 Twizzlers in every bag. Consider for a moment that a regular Coke is 150 calories. A mere two Cherry Twizzlers would exceed--by 30%--two cans of Coke. I can see parents, teachers, and of course Mrs. Obama all throwing up their hands with horror upon hearing of a child who has consumed 12 cans of Coke within a period of 30-40 minutes. But those 12 cans would comprise a mere 1800 calories; on the other hand, a child's consumption of 12 sticks of cherry licorice would be unlikely to arouse the same amount of fuss and consternation--yet it would exceed the calories of those twelve 12-oz. Coke cans by 120 calories!
The irresistible appeal of this candy would provoke volumes from the semioticians and psychologists who study human behavior for the sake of inducing people to buy things that suddenly seem a necessity to their happiness and well-being (and, of course, to the American free enterprise system). And given all of the olfactory properties (the fragrance is a sheer seducer) and tactile qualities (the "chewishness" of these willowy wands is unmatched) in addition to the taste (which, like other consumable objects of affection, soon becomes the "only" flavor as far as the recipient is concerned--well, it would take neither an academic nor a Freudian to have a field day in explaining the prior claim this candy is capable of exerting upon its defenseless target. (And, as advertisers never tire of reminding us: "You deserve it.")
The aforementioned is not meant to be a call for prohibition (indeed, the unfortunate example of Carrie Nation appears to have had little influence on some political candidates who would restrict individual choices). As I said, I'm a recovering, not a "recovered," addict. And I intend to keep it that way. My only recommendation is: keep it to one stick (well, maybe holidays and birthdays call for an extra stick--but just one extra).

 Ugh.Mar 01, 2010
By J. Arena
I bought Twizzlers Cherry Pull-n-Peel on an impulse while shopping in a discount store. Stupid me, I didn't realize that all Twizzlers are not created equally.
The first bite was OK. Then, I got this overwhelming feeling that I was consuming chewy cough medicine. I know it's candy -- but this was soooo outrageously artificial and medicinal tasting that I wanted to gag.
Blech. Live and learn. Next time, I'll stick with the strawberry.
