If you've ever wished that your red vines were more packed with flavor, well, you can stop wishing. Twerpz are here and they come in more than red flavor, they come in orange, too!
They were introduced last year and only come in this paired flavor combo. They're a slightly larger nib (short piece of a vine) with a larger center that's filled with a tart and chewy center, simlilar to a Starbust (I know, a Mars product).
Upon opening the package they do smell distinctly of strawberry with a hint of Elmer's glue (what is it with that glue smell?). The candies themselves are kinda cute and a really good size. I had fun photographing them. The outside is the typical bland and sweet vine and the inside is a really intense burst of sour and soft chew. I prefer the orange ones to the strawberry, but if you've been reading here for very long you'll know that I eschew red things. (click the photo for a larger version)I think they're a nice addition to Twizzler line - more flavorful, really easy to eat at a movie or to share with others. I'd be fun to see other flavors, but I think that strawberry and orange are a natural start.

I had some of these last week. I thought it had a strange chemical aftertaste to them. I don't care to have them again.
They look tasty... I wonder if they'd be better if the inside was more of a gel instead?
I'll have to pick these up when I see them... *adds them to growing list*
I love twerpz.
I love the smell of Elmer's glue, almost as much as library paste.
When I was growing up, I used to bite off the ends of a red vine and then use it as a straw for my soda. Good times. Good times.
Marvo, I think they actually make a "red vine" straw and sell them at the counter at 7-11s and such for Slurpees. I think they're a bit bigger in diameter though.
Trust me..im a kid (12) They are Horrible...the Gel inside makes them Even Worse..No Offence to anyone who Might like them!
I'm a kid too! and I LLLLike'em ALOT! They taste similar to a candy chew(similar to a starburst) I used to love, but is no longer available. Glad to find a new favorite.
