Quick update, I have now determined that Rite Aid is my go-to place for Red Vines. The Rite Aid on 10th and Market had not one but three different kinds of Red Vines! They had mixed red and black bites, jumbo licorice twists and regular Red Vines.

I was glad to find these lovelies because movie night is not movie night without Red Vines. And yes this food blogger has a thing for ridiculous flavored Pringles like Taco Night. Also, discounted Valentine’s candy. Not shown: heart shaped Ring Pops.

Also, I can now be a fan of Red Vines on Facebook and so can you.

I know I’m obsessed but you love me for it.

Previously: Red Vines spotted at 4th and Spring Garden Rite Aid

Everything is right on the West Coast

In my ongoing dialogue/rant about my love for Red Vines, I submit to you why I love coming back to the West Coast. RED VINES AT THE MOVIE THEATER AS NATURE INTENDED.

These were spotted at a movie theater in " target="_blank">Port Angeles, Washington. Nowhere near a thriving metropolis but they know the right red licorice to sell. I happily purchased a pack and snacked on them while watching Sherlock Holmes.

Happiness, one pound at a time

I had a terrible day yesterday. It was raining (waaah) and I was on a search for a couple of food items but had no luck. Fortunately, I found a break from the rain in an oasis otherwise known as the Rite Aid, on the corner of 4th and Spring Garden. There I found the most wonderful thing in the world.

ONE POUND BAG OF RED VINES!

It’s been ages since I posted a silly picture of myself so here you go. Also you can see my cat Jacques hanging out in the corner. He was trying to eat the plastic bag. Cats love plastic.

Totally bogus post but I do think it is helpful to fellow Red Vines lovers of Philadelphia. Please let me know if you stumble across other locations that sell these red licorice twists of joy.

Red Vines vs. Twizzler’s

This post is brought to you by insomnia.

Seeing as my question about “suicides” at the soda fountain was a success, and I use that term loosely only because I think it got the most comments on FWTS without offering a giveaway, I’m going to ask you to offer your thoughts on this heated topic. OK let me clarify that the only one heated up about this topic is me.

Movie theater red licorice:

Red Vines are awesome. I will stand by this till the day I die. They are the superior movie theater licorice. They have a sweet cherry flavor and a soft and chewy texture that I really enjoy. I grew up eating these sweet twisty treats at movie theaters all over California. It was my very favorite thing. I enjoyed biting off both ends of the licorice and using it as a straw. I was up for a rude awakening when I moved to the east coast for college and found that this wasn’t a standard at the movie theater concession stands on this side of the country. Instead there were Twizzler’s. I wish you could see my face when I think of Twizzler’s. Oh wait you can.

It's 4:40am and I shouldn't be allowed to blog. Boo to Twizzler's.

I’ve clearly just figured out that my laptop can take pictures of myself, I apologize in advance for the overuse of this. Too late.

So back to Twizzler’s. I think they are gross. They smell weird and taste like wax. That’s all I really have to say about that.

I’ve made my preference perfectly clear. Which do you prefer? Leave a comment to let me know and again include where you grew up. I think that geographic location will make a big difference of opinion.

You can blame insomnia for the ridiculous post.
