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 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. a b Cook, Joan (September 16, 1975).

Nibs are bite-sized licorice pieces. The confectionery industry has long used the word nibs to describe small pieces of a product. The origin of the industry's use of the word comes from cacao nibs, which are the bitter but flavorful chocolate bits made from the beans of the cocoa tree. [ citation needed] Then, begin cutting the yellow, green and purple Twizzlers into short “beads” (half to full inch segments work the best). When you cut the Twizzlers, the holes might get pressed shut, gently squeeze the ends to get the holes to reopen.Super Nibs: This is a very long version of Twizzlers Nibs. Supper Nibs are about the length of a full sized Twizzler, but in the shape and texture of a Nib. Just like its smaller version, Twizzlers Super Nibs are flat on one side and rounded on the other. 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 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.While the original flavor introduced in 1845 was licorice, in the middle 1970s the company began to expand its flavors to include strawberry, grape, chocolate, cherry, and watermelon flavors. [10] Limited edition cherry cola and "rainbow" (fruit variety consisting of strawberry, orange, lemonade, watermelon, "blue raspberry", peach and grape) flavors were introduced in 2006. Today all these flavors of "rainbow" Twizzlers are still sold in stores and movie theaters.

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