DESCRIPTION
Enjoy the long strands of red licorice laces. They’re fruity, smooth, and, above all, fun. In fact, red laces are our top-selling licorice, enjoyed by kids and adults! The flavor is tart and fruity, maybe strawberry, maybe raspberry, in a candy sort of way…Meaning it doesn’t actually taste like fruit but still tastes great. More important is how you eat licorice laces. Some eat licorice laces like spaghetti, sucking the strands. Some lower them in their mouths with great care and lots of humor. Others just, well, put the licorice laces strands in their mouths. They even use licorice laces for creative purposes, whether decorating cake or making red licorice bracelets.

Red licorice and licorice laces were first made by the American Licorice Company. The company has followed a unique path since it started in 1914. Its first product was black licorice, what they called Black Licorice Vines. In 1920, they introduced a new candy called Raspberry Vines, red, chewy, with a fruit flavor. Shortly after, in 1925, the silent film star Charlie Chaplin needed to eat a boot in his movie “The Gold Rush”. So, he asked the American Licorice Company to make a licorice boot. The company ultimately made two – one extra in case the first was damaged.
One of the American Licorice Company’s most enduring selections, Raspberry Vines, has a more prominent role in the movie kingdom. Made in the 1920’s they were renamed “Red Vines,” in the 1950s. Packaged in a cardboard tray they were well-suited for movie theater concession stands. Their timing was good: in the late 1940s and 1950s, televisions were taking over the American entertainment landscape. To get the public back into the theaters, and make a better profit, movie theaters built luxuriant concession stands.
Today, Red Vines, the “Original Red Twists,” is one of the top-selling movie theater candies in the United States. Red Vines, like other modern licorice company selections, contains no licorice. While the public still refers to them as licorice, companies must call them “twists.
