BEWARE! First ingredient is Maltitol. Eat slowly & very little, or this is a VERY POWERFUL LAXATIVE.
How is Maltitol not prescribed as a colonoscopy prep medication? It has exactly that effect, plus a sweet taste (better than current prep meds). Just a few of these short and hollow licorice twists as a snack, and you will be spending much of the next 24 hours needing to be near a restroom. The intense stomach gurgling, and powerful diarrhea, is everything I remember from the prep for a colonoscopy. I'd NEVER want to do it recreationally. Bulimics should avoid this, as they MUST have a better way to purge than this.If you take the chance, the strawberry flavor is a bit off, but quite pleasant. I quickly adapted, and enjoyed the flavor. The texture is also quite close to real licorice (though more the Twizzlers sort of thing than real Red Vines). The price in quantity is lower than most sugar-free candies for diabetics. If you can get by with a small piece of one twist every few hours, you may escape the digestive problems. Otherwise, about the only other use I can think of for this product is to deal with a food thief at work. Put some of these licorice twists into a quart zip-lock bag, put them in the break room with a non-employee name on them, and you will soon know who the office food thief is. Be aware they may go to the ER, thinking they've gotten food poisoning, so the prank could escalate further than intended. But if they treat these like ordinary licorice, and have a few twists within a few minutes, their next 24+ hours will be quite uncomfortable.

They're okay, but the initial "mouth feel" taste is a little unusual
These may be an acquired taste. I was looking for a low/no sugar alternative and thought I'd try these out. I've ready the horror stories about stomach issues but there's only one way to know if it would affect me, and that's to try it.Fortunately I don't seem to have a problem with the sweetener used in these. I stuck to the recommended serving size of 4 (although yesterday I did have 6 just to finish the bag) and I had no ill effects.My complaint is more about the flavor... the first time I tried it, it just seemed unusual... I don't know how else to describe it. I enjoy regular Red Vines but these have a different taste. I know, I know... it's not the same thing and it would be expected to taste a little different, but the flavor had a certain "something" that I don't know how to describe. Maybe a little "alcoholish" if that's possible? I know the sugar substitute has "sugar alcohols" and who knows, maybe that's reflected in the taste?I do admit that after those first few, when I went back in following days and had more of them, the taste didn't strike me in that same way and became a little more enjoyable. So maybe it was just that psychological effect when you bit into something expecting one thing and get something else, it throws you off, but then you know what to expect and it's not as bad?Whatever the case, once I finish this box of packages, I -probably- won't buy more, or try some other brands/options, but we'll see.

Tastes, smells and is perfect for those who need less or no sugar snack items.
This product tastes great and is perfect for my diabetic husband to bring with him to the movies and indulge a little while at the movies and not feel deprived. It was great tasting and fresh!

Not the same flavor as original red vines
Nothing wrong or bad but Strawberry flavor is not the Original Red Vines flavor and I did not realize that.
