Red Vines

I don't know how many of you have ever tried Red Vines before, but in my eyes, they are the candy of gods. The cheap imitation of Twizzlers, just don't come close to the quality of a Red Vine.

Many a movie of my youth was spent munching on them and popcorn at the same time. I guess you could call that one of my guilty pleasures. A darkened theatre, a bag of popcorn, a tray of Red Vines, and a cup of Dr. Pepper........it doesn't get any better than that, unless Mrs. Molly happens to get frisky. But since we hardly ever get to go out to a movie, and I'm usually the one to take the rugrats out to see a flick, I'll have to stick with my licorice and popcorn.

I don't JUST love the red ones, I really like the black ones too. You know, real licorice. The American Licorice company even makes a two lbs. bag that has both.....awwwwww now my mouth is watering.

Unfortunately the theatres here in Florida have never caught on to my candy of choice, and for a long time neither did any stores. I used to have to 'import' the candy from Washington St, from where my dear old mom would send me care packages of all things good.

Now, however the stores do stock it, and the next time I go to a movie with the crumb-snatchers, I'm stopping by Albertson's, or Walmart, and getting me a bag to smuggle in.
