They must have an advertising budget that is only surpassed by My Pillow! At least where I live!!!

They are my weakness, I think it’s the texture. I can’t have them in the house ! 😹

Yes, there are a number of these commercials shown over and over again showing various actors with a single twizzler hanging and dangling in front of their no-expression face until eventually they break in to a smile a grab the hanging twizzler with their mouth. I wasn't bothered by it at first, but enough already LOL!!!

I can't eat just one...one bag maybe, but not just a single piece

I have seen the commercials, but they are not overdone here. I live near Hershey, Pa and they are a Hershey candy product.

They are with wheat flour and are not gluten free, so I can't eat them. Doesn't bother me though, chocolate is better.

This commercial is show every day during my soap.

It looks like the licorice is hanging from the ceiling.

I have seen the commercials. I don't get all the excitement over Twizzlers. I must be the only person on the planet who doesn't go nuts over them. To me the texture is awful, like eating plastic and the taste is faint. You can have mine.

My husband used to be addicted to them. He would buy one of those big huge bags and most of the bag would be gone in a couple of days.....Whenever we went to the Movies, that is what he would get as well. I am so glad he has overcome this addiction! lol! He does have them once in a while though.....

@QVCkitty1 they are my weakness, too! I try to avoid looking at them in the store, or else, they'll find their way into my shopping cart.......

Well I just ate a bag in two days. About a month ago Walmart had them in all flavors and reduced price. I love only the cherry or strawberry and they were so fresh. I also cannot have them in the house and can’t just eat one at a time! So happy to hear that others have same weakness. Oh it’s the little pleasures in life!

I've always liked these. The apple-flavored ones are a favorite, but I haven't seen them in a store in years.

When I quit smoking cigarettes cold turkey over 30 years ago....I became ADDICTED to raspberry twizzlers.. ....OMG ate them by the pound. Finally got over it. Funny thing was....I do not like sweets or candy. This was the only time ever I ate candy.

I think I enjoy smelling them when I first open the bag as much as I enjoy eating them. We always buy the extra large bags at Sam's so that the bag lasts a few days.

I've been in the mood for a treat that's chewy and ordered a 5-lb. container from Amazon.

Too much black licorice can lead to heart problems.

Heard about on the news, but you have to pretty much eat

it every day and be over 40. You can google it.

Twizzlers are not licorice.

@Krimpette ...waving "hi" to you!!

I know what you mean with excessive tv ads. At least it is better than the commercial for Stanley Steamer where the little guy is standing up and going to the potty, while turning around to answer his mom's call.....UGH!!!!!!

The Hershey twizzlers are good.
