Twizzlers (History, Flavors, Photos & Commercials)

Twizzlers are long pieces of twisted candy, made from various ingredients such as corn syrup, and resemble licorice. Most known for its classic red coloration and twisted long shape, Twizzlers was first made back in 1929 and has remained a popular snack for around a century. Twizzlers come in many different flavors, colors, and have several spin-off products as well.

Information

Twizzlers is a candy made from corn syrup, wheat flour, sugar, cornstarch, and in smaller amounts palm oil, salt, artificial flavor, glycerin, citric acid, potassium sorbate, Red 40, and soy lecithin. Twizzlers resemble licorice, however technically Twizzlers are not licorice. Twizzlers do not contain licorice extract, nor advertise having being made from licorice. However they do look much like licorice candy, and licorice flavor was the original flavor of Twizzlers. Only the black licorice Twizzlers appear to contain licorice extract. It has been reported in 2013 that over 1 million miles of Twizzlers are produced every year.

Twizzlers was first made in the year 1929, by the Young and Smylie company, which changed to Y&S as its trademark in 1870 and was founded in 1845. The company that invented Twizzlers is one of the oldest confectionery firms in the United States. Twizzlers was somewhat little known until around the 1960s when Twizzlers became mainstream. Eventually, the company Young and Smylie merged and renamed Y&S Candies, and in 1997 was acquired by Hershey Foods, creator of the Hershey Bar.

Twizzlers is now owned by Hershey’s, and in 2018 was reported that for the 52 weeks ending on June 17, 2018, Twizzlers sales in the U.S were about 218.4 million U.S. dollars. Twizzlers is manufactured from where it was originally invented, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and since 1999, Twizzlers has also been manufactured in Memphis, Tennessee.

After the Hershey’s Company acquired Twizzlers, many new flavors and types were released. Twizzlers is often compared to its competitor, Red Vines, by the American Licorice Company. Heated debate by fans can sometimes pop up over what one of the two products is better, Twizzlers or Red Vines. In 2016, during American-Iran nuclear talks, it was reported that the American diplomatic team consumed 10 pounds of strawberry Twizzlers, along with 20 pounds of string cheese and more than 200 Rice Krispies treats.

One of the benefits of Twizzlers over some other candies is that it does not easily melt, and will often fair better in the heat than some other treats, such as chocolate-based snacks like the Mars Bar, that often end up melting in hot weather more easily.

A rumor exists that the second comment Neil Armstrong said after landing on the moon during his historic moon landing mission was “I could go for some Twizzlers right now”, a claim encouraged by the Hershey Company. The Twizzlers brand also set the Guinness world record on July 19th, 1998, for the longest piece of licorice ever made, stretching over 1200 feet long and weighing over 100 pounds. All Twizzler products are kosher certified by the Orthodox Union.

Twizzlers do not contain animal gelatin or other animal products and are approved as vegan-edible candy. It has been reported that Hershey’s did a survey and found residents of the state of Utah consume candy at twice that national average and that Twizzlers was one of their most preferred candy. In South Korea, an opposite trend was seen, with one news outlet in the UK reporting a taste test of American snacks found that Korean candy fans found Twizzlers to be displeasing and rubbery, rather than many Americans who often find it sweet and chewy. The shape of Twizzlers is often referred to be being helix-shaped.

Twizzlers candy has been reported to be a part of famous boxer Floyd Mayweather’s pre-fight diet. Twizzlers was a popular movie treat for moviegoers in theaters even back during its inception, with the snack being available for purchase in at least some theaters as early as 1930. Twizzlers has a twist in its candy structure in at least every inch, with about 8 twists for every foot of a Twizzler. The most popular flavor of Twizzlers is the strawberry flavor, a very popular flavor within America, the country that Twizzlers was invented in. Twizzlers has had over 20 different shapes and flavors available for sale at once during the year 2013.

As of 2019 Twizzlers was considered one of the top key players in the gummy candy market. The Hershey Company was reported to be using Microsoft-created artificial intelligence to help keep the weight of Twizzlers to the specified amount on the package. This helps prevent the need of including extra to avoid being under the marked weight of the product due to imperfections in the process of weighing Twizzlers at the factory.

Many flavors of Twizzlers and spin-off products of the original Twizzlers line have been made over the years, especially after Twizzlers was acquired by The Hershey Company. Flavors of Twizzlers include strawberry, orange, lemon, caramel apple filled Twizzlers, blue raspberry, and watermelon flavored Twizzlers. Spin-offs include Twizzlers pull ’n’ peel, Twizzlers Bites, Nibs, and Twizzlers Candy Straws.

Twizzlers has released multiple commercials to advertise the product and brand and the candy mascot for Twizzlers is sometimes seen that is in the shape of an anthropomorphic long package of Twizzlers. Several types of packaging for Twizzlers exist, and a special extra-long version of Twizzlers is produced that is 2 feet in length, compared to the normal length of a Twizzler, being about 8 inches.

The Company That Invented Twizzlers

Twizzlers was invented by a company called Young and Smylie company. Young and Smylie company is one of the world’s oldest candy confectionery companies and came into business around 1845. In 1870 Young and Smylie changed its trademark to Y&S, and eventually, the company merged with 3 other companies. After the merged company changed its name to Y&S Candies, it was acquired by the Hershey Company in 1997, and with the acquisition came Twizzlers into the possession of the Hershey Company as well.

The Company That Owns Twizzlers Now

The company that currently owns Twizzlers now is the Hershey Company. Hershey’s is an American snack and food corporation and one of the largest in the world, known for producing candy such as the Hershey Bar and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Twizzlers entered Hershey’s hands after a series of company mergers and acquisitions. Twizzlers original creator, the Young and Smylie company, ended up going through a few mergers, eventually becoming Y&S Candies, and later Hershey’s acquired Y&S Candies and thus became and new owner of Twizzlers.

The Year Twizzlers Was Invented

Twizzlers were invented in the year 1929 by the Young and Smylie company. It was invented in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where it was primarily produced at the time. Twizzlers has enjoyed a long-standing history and has managed to fight its way to recognition in a crowded market in its roughly a century of existence.

Slogans

Twizzlers has had a couple of slogans that have been associated with it. Some slogans used for Twizzlers are “Makes Mouths Happy” and “You can’t be serious with Twizzlers”. These slogans tend to reflect the fun mood that Twizzlers like to display in its commercials.

Twizzlers Pull n’ Peel adds a degree of fun to the food, making it more interactive, and allows you to spend longer eating the candy as a lot comes with it. Twizzlers Pull n’ Peel does not share much of the textures of the classic Twizzlers, but it does have a somewhat similar nature in term of its feel and texture, although different at the same time. Twizzlers Pull n’ Peel was first invented in the year 1995, and comes in flavors such as, Cherry, Grape, Cinnamon, and Orange & Black Cherry.
• Twizzlers Soft Bites: The Soft Bites spin-off is a small, roughly 2 inch long cylinder of Twizzlers-like candy. This spin-off does not have any twist in it, but it is soft, squishy, and chewy. The term “soft” in the name is not an overexertion, Twizzlers Soft Bites are very chewy, and you can sure take your time when eating them. This version comes in flavors such as Strawberry, Watermelon and Licorice. This version is smooth, and does not have any holes in it, unlike its counterpart Twizzlers Bites.
• Twizzlers Bites: This is a smaller and more hollow version of Twizzlers. Released alongside a companion product, Jolly Rancher Bites, Twizzlers Bites are a small chewy version of the classic candy. Unlike Twizzlers Soft Bites, this “Bites” version is hollow, and contains a twisted or perhaps clustered look to it. The commercial advertisement introducing this spin-off featured Jolly Rancher Bites and Twizzlers Bites battling each other to be the predominate “Bites” candy.

This version is marketed as being very tangy and chewy, and the filling is more obvious then the Filled Bites version. Twerpz comes in flavors such as Strawberry & Orange.
• Nibs: Twizzlers Nibs keeps in tune with the tendency for Twizzler branded spin-offs products to go small.

• Mini Twists: These are a smaller version of the larger products. Mini Twists comes in original Twists style, Filled Twists style, and Sour Twists style. Coming in a variety of flavors and varieties makes these Mini Twists an handy small candy to have on hand that gives you many options to choose from.
• Twizzlers Strawberry flavored Lip Balm: We have no idea if this is edible, but it is a lip balm with the flavor of a Strawberry Twizzler.

Review

This review is for the classic Strawberry Twists Twizzlers

Twizzlers feels a lot like licorice in its texture, firm yet chewy to bite, hard to the touch, and rough in its consistency. The bag gave off a vague strawberry-like smell when opened, but it was pretty weak. But that’s fine, how does strawberry Twizzlers taste is the question. And truth be told, the flavor is also somewhat weak.

This type of Twizzlers has a vague and not very strong flavor of strawberry to it. But this is not a bad thing, Twizzlers is a decent candy to munch on when you want a snack to eat. Chewing it is enjoyable, and it takes a while, so having a mild flavor is not such a bad thing when the candy is in your mouth being chewed over a long period of time. The roughness of the twists in the “Strawberry Twists” version of Twizzlers adds a tactile experience to eating it and makes it a better one.

Twizzlers is not a snack you take 2 bites out of, gulp right down, and forget about. Rather this product asks you to take your time with it, feel its texture as you chew it, and lets you really notice what you are eating. Twizzlers don’t just take a while to eat individually, the average-sized pack that was reviewed here gives you about 10 individual pieces of candy, each one taking a while to eat. Overall, Twizzlers strawberry flavored twists give you a mild-tasting snack, that is enjoyable and lasts you a long time, and is good for filling you up when hungry or lasting you through a solid portion of a movie.

Twizzlers Straws Review – Rainbow Flavors

This review covers Twizzlers Straws Rainbow. Before taking the first bite of Twizzlers Straws, I chose the orange flavor, and biting into it I noticed it was much easier to chew through than the normal version of Twizzlers. Unlike the original variation that has a degree of firmness to it, the hollow nature of Twizzlers Straws may be the reason why it feels so chewy and easy to bite into.

Swallowing the first bite orange of the orange-flavored Twizzler Straw did not go so well, it got stuck in my throat on the way down, giving that feeling that I just swallowed a horse-sized pill, and causing me to violently cough the first bite up and out of my throat. Maybe I should have drunk something first, but still, not a pleasant first experience. Continuing onward, the orange flavor tasted a bit “artificial and chemical-like”, and I did not care for it at first, but I ended up appreciating the taste more as I finished the first piece.

The strawberry piece had a vague taste of strawberry to it, not strong, but pleasant. Compared to the orange flavor I strongly preferred the strawberry version for its taste. It is an enjoyable flavor and it is far easier to chow down than an ordinary strawberry Twizzler. Choosing a green Watermelon Flavor piece of Twizzler to be used as a straw, I grab a can of Coca-Cola and stick the Twizzler in it.

Turns out Twizzlers Straws are actually pretty effective straws, not so much as a real one, but it did not leak and it let me drink efficiently. There was a slight taste of “green” (Watermelon) flavor to the drink, but it was not too noticeable. The real problem was avoiding the urge to bite down on the straw as I drink, something I did not manage to avoid, but fortunately, the straw was not pierced by a small amount of nibbling and it continued to function as a candy straw.

The Length Of A Twizzler

Twizzlers come in several sizes of the original version. There are “normal length” Twizzlers, “Long” Twizzlers, then we have the marked “Extra Long” Twizzlers, said to be 16 inches in length. There are also Mini Twist versions of Twizzlers that are comparably extremely small to all the other sizes that Twizzlers candy comes in.

Snack History decided to measure a normal-sized package of Twizzlers Twists to find out for ourselves how long Twizzlers are. In order to test the ruler, we used a U.S dollar and a bank card to compare for accuracy. As there are many different sizes of Twizzlers out there, we selected a 70-gram package of Twizzlers Strawberry Twists Candy.

We measured the length of 3 Strawberry Twizzlers Twists at their longest points at both sides and considering the ends are a bit edged and not even, we included the edges in the measurements. The average length of a Strawberry Twizzler came out to be approximately 15 centimeters in length or just under 6 inches. That is a pretty good bit of length for a piece of candy standing at nearly half a foot long. This measurement was conducted on a 70-gram package of Twizzlers Strawberry Twists Candy.

Measuring Twizzlers Straws – Rainbow Flavors

We measured the Twizzlers Straws pieces that came in a 3.5 OZ bag of Twizzlers Straws, Rainbow flavors. Measuring the length of one of the green Watermelon pieces ends to end with a ruler came out to 5 and 3/4 Inches. Measuring one of the orange pieces came out to 5 and 13/16th inches. Measuring one of the Purple pieces also came out to 5 and 13/16th inches. So the typical length of a piece of Twizzlers in this 3.5 OZ bag was just over 5 and 3/4 of an inch on average, or 5 and 13/16th inches generally.

Measuring the width of a red Strawberry Twizzler Straw came out to 7/16th of an inch. Measuring the width of a green Watermelon Twizzler Straw came out to be 6/16th of an inch. Measuring and orange Twizzler Straw came out to about 7/16th of an inch. Overall it seems the typical width of the Twizzler Straws Rainbow from this 3.5 OZ bag is about 7/16th of an inch. We included the “spokes” of the Twizzlers in this measurement and measured the end of the Twizzlers for their width.

Twizzlers Straws Rainbow – Amount And Color Assortment

We got a 3.5 OZ bag of Twizzlers Straws Rainbow Flavor and counted the amount of individual Twizzlers Straws and their color assortment.

We counted a total of 10 individual pieces of Twizzlers Straws in the 3.5 OZ bag. 2 of the individual pieces were green (watermelon), 2 were orange (orange), 2 were yellow (lemonade), 2 were red (strawberry), 1 was purple (grape), and 1 was blue (blue raspberry).

Setting Twizzlers Straws On Fire

We decided to set some Rainbow Twizzlers Straw on fire. To make the flame, we used a common lighter. One thing you may have expected was for Twizzlers Straws to drip and turn into a liquid, but that did not happen. Instead of turning into a dripping pool of liquid on the floor, it turned black and burned. It gave out a strong smell of sugar as it grew hotter, and we were able to keep the flame on it for a long time before a large impact was noticed.

After burning the Twizzler Straws, they appeared to be somewhat hard to the touch and crispy. We used the green-colored Watermelon flavored and yellow lemonade-colored Twizzler Straws for this experiment.

Cooking Twizzlers Straws In A Stove Pan

We decided to cook some Twizzlers Straws Rainbow using a stove and pan. We used 5 Twizzler Straws for this experiment, yellow, red, green, blue, and purple; (We already used up the greens). We set the Twizzler Straws to high heat on the pan, and let the stove’s burners rip. We let it cook for about 15 minutes.

For the first 5 minutes, there was little change, except for the strong smell of sugar in the air. by 10 minutes, the Twizzler Straws were bubbling on the sides, and the bottoms appeared dark and burned. Smoke began to emanate from them in more prominent amounts as time went on, from barely any smoke at first to a heavy amount by the end of the 15 minutes.

The Twizzlers Straws, in general, appeared somewhat resistant to the heat. However, when stabbing them with a knife they appeared soft, sticky, and easy to cut through; Like a knife into hot butter. The pan was easy to clean afterward, so while we do not recommend you try this at home, at least cleaning the cooking equipment is easy to accomplish.

How Twizzlers Are Made

Twizzlers are made by taking their main ingredients, such as flour, liquid sugar, corn syrup, and water and then combining them into a slurry that is mixed for an hour. 900 gallons of the slurry of mixed ingredients are then pumped into cooking kettles where it is cooked for 4 hours. Shortening, coloring, and flavor are added, and then the liquid mash is cooked and agitated for about 4 hours. At that point, the mixture can be shaped, cut, dried, and have its production finished and be packaged.

Advertising

Twizzlers has run numerous commercial advertisement campaigns, normally high-energy in nature. One advertisement campaign by Twizzlers coined the slogan “You can’t be serious with Twizzlers”. In this series of commercials, various people were shown having a single Twizzler hanging in front of their faces until they began to laugh. The idea seemed to be to promote Twizzlers as a fun and happy mood candy.

Before this, enough campaign commercials used the slogan “Twizzlers makes mouths happy” to help promote the brand. Twizzlers ads, in general, have a fast pace and high energy mood to them and are often marketed to a more adult crowd. Sometimes commercials for the Twizzlers brand will feature life-like behavior from various Twizzlers candies, making them act almost animal-like and giving high energy and a “fun” mood to the adverts.

Twizzlers seems to have had some degree of the poster and may have had billboard advertisement as well. One potential billboard for Twizzlers that was found features Santa Claus running swiftly with Twizzlers packages spilling out of his sack.

The billboard had the slogan “Everybody wants some” With a package of Twizzlers depicted underneath the saying. Some poster advertisements for the Twizzlers brand also exist, with one depicting the spin-off Twizzlers Pull ‘n’ Peel is used to “draw over” a realistic poster the way a kid might draw over one. These advertisements for the posters and billboards follow along with the “fun theme” that the Twizzlers brand tends to promote.

Twizzler’s advertisements appear to be geared to young adults as a common age group seen in their commercials, though the brand does seem to depict other age groups at times in some of its adverts. There does not seem to be a named mascot for the brand, the only mascot that Snack History was able to find was a person dressed as a character that looked like a tall humanoid Twizzlers package to meet with the public.

Packaging Design

The packaging design of Twizzlers often follows a similar style between the various products under the Twizzlers brand. Notable is the lettering style that Twizzlers uses to promote its brand name. We don’t know what type of font it is, but its style is very recognizable and helps Twizzlers stand out as a product on store shelves.

The large block-like white letters are the same on most, if not all, of their products and are often in the center of the package art for the candy. If the name “Twizzlers” is not in the center of the packaging art, then it is often to the left of the package. Also on many of the product’s packaging that falls under the Twizzlers brand tends to have pictures of various types of fruit or other foods to help display the flavor that the specific packaging contains.

The color of the box or package itself tends to change to reflect a color that is associated with the flavor being contained within the packaging. For example; the Cherry flavor Twizzlers will often have pink color packaging, while the Strawberry flavor will often have red color packaging.
