These aren’t licorice. Dammit. They’re not. DON’T CALL THEM THAT.

Wanna know what licorice is?

/ˈlik(ə)riSH,ˈlik(ə)ris/ (noun): a sweet, chewy, aromatic black substance made by evaporation from the juice of a root and used as a candy and in medicine.

these are not that

These have no licorice in them. No anise undertones.

These do have berry though, with no artificial colors. And the chew is fantastic. These ARE very good. And don’t just take my word for it; The Today Show (U.S. morning TV show) listed them as a Top 10 Trader Joe’s candy.

The sad part is you likely have no Trader Joe’s near you. So what’s the deal? What kind of idiot reviewer are you reading? WHY would you be reading?

A ha! I’ll tell you why. Cuz I’m not dum and I know that these are also made by another company. Because that’s what TJ’s does – white label. And these berry chew twists that aren’t licorice, ARE almost undoubtedly these:

Yum. Get them.
