What do I actually need to write here? If you are reading this, it is probably because you already love red vines. If you don't, what the heck is wrong with you?! This is the 2nd tub of these I have ordered from Amazon and both of them have been ridiculously fresh. 10 times fresher than any pack I have ever gotten locally. There were quite a few on top that were actually broken into pieces because they were so soft. I kept a stash at home and then brought the tub to work to share the love with my coworkers. Recruited some twizzlers people (You can't even compare Red Vines to twizzlers). I might go for the black ones next, although I think those will probably last longer since only a few people like black licorice. I will be buying these again. And again.
