Red Vines is a brand of red licorice candy manufactured in Union City, California. Not many other candy varieties carry such a sense of nostalgia as Red Vines Original Red Twists. They have been around since 1914, appearing in a number of films and series like Gilmore Girls, Star Kid and The Big Bang Theory. Red Vines holds the title as the number one non-chocolate candy in the United States. Soft, smooth, always fat free and made without preservatives!
