Twizzlers

Twizzlers are a brand of licorice-style confectionery manufactured by The Hershey Company. Introduced in 1929, Twizzlers are known for their chewy texture and twisted shape. The original flavor is strawberry, though other varieties such as cherry, black licorice, and orange have been produced over the years. The candy is made primarily from corn syrup, sugar, wheat flour, and artificial flavors.

The distinctive twisted design of Twizzlers is a key part of its branding. This shape is achieved through an extrusion process during manufacturing. Twizzlers are a popular snack, particularly in North America, and are often sold in movie theaters and convenience stores. The brand has also expanded to include related products like Pull 'n' Peel Twists and Bites. Hershey's acquired the Twizzlers brand in 1977. The company continues to innovate with new flavors and product formats to maintain its market presence. Twizzlers are a widely recognized and consumed candy in the confectionery market.
