I once found Twizzlers in a german supermarket for a lot of money. I bought it out of curiosity.
Do you really like that stuff? I found it disgusting and threw it away.
Densely populated areas buy the cheapest candy.
The size/price ratio probably beats most other candies.
Wait, this data isn't per capita?
Looks like it's based on purchased weight vs national average, so per candy capita.
Never buy stuff from the american section. Shit is expensive as hell and not for human consumption.
It's our easily shipped, shelf stable, garbage tier stuff.
I actually ordered some because I was curious and was sorely disappointed. And why is there mineral oil in the ingredients?
They probably use it on the candy molds as a food safe lubricant.
Twizzlers; let's take the good things about red vines and make them all bad.

Are Twizzlers and Red Vines not the same thing?? They look exactly the same but they don't sell Red Vines in my part of the world so I legit always thought they were the same.
Red vines are a single stick, hollow, delicious and the way red licorice is meant to taste. Using them as a straw is pretty much peak life.
Twizzlers are smooth, rubbery, taste like plastic, likely are made of it, and instead of one stick, are small whips wrapped together to form a long one. No straw functionality, but the individual whips are a good size for strangling a mouse.
Whereas I'm in the U.S. and I love European salty licorice (especially Dutch dubbel zout licorice). Almost no one here can stand licorice. When I tell them I like the salty kind, they stare at me in horror. When I tell them it's salted with ammonia salts, they look like they want to scream.
My local supermarket has flaming hot cheetos, but they are 8.50€. They can't be that good.
When I was in California I had some Reese's pieces. They're were bloody awful.
Even if American chocolate actually tasted any good they would still be awful because the idea of peanut butter plus chocolate just doesn't work. It's not a peanut bar it's salty peanut butter in, theoretically, milky chocolate.
Nah, peanut butter and chocolate is dope
You're right; reses pieces is just the hatred version of both. So many other great options that don't taste stale and weak: peanut m&M's, reses peanut butter cups, etc.
Most of the mass produced big name candy in America sucks. But man, peanut butter and chocolate is the bee's knees
I mean, everyone has their own preferences, and some people don't like peanut butter. If you're one of those people, you're not going to enjoy peanut butter and chocolate and that's OK because everyone is entitled to an opinion, even very stupid opinions.
