Twizzlers Twists, Hershey's Chocolate
What You Should Know
TWIZZLERS Twists Hershey's Chocolate 12 oz is the candy-aisle staple you’d expect in the middle of an American grocery store — grouped with other novelty gummies, licorice, and movie-night treats, often cross-promoted near party supplies, concession-style popcorn, or seasonal snack displays. The bag’s messaging leans playful and shareable: a bright, resealable pouch holding pliable, twist-shaped chocolate-flavored chews designed for passing around at birthday parties, tailgates, sleepovers, and long drives. Brand positioning is classic consumer candy culture — heritage confection marketed to kids, teens, and nostalgic adults who remember Twizzlers rituals; Hershey’s co-branding signals mainstream mass-market confectionery. Labeling leans toward convenience-and-fun claims rather than health: low-fat and kosher certifications are called out, but there are no organic or "natural" certifications and the ingredient list includes artificial flavoring and corn syrup, so any health halos are modest and surface-level. In plain processing terms this is a highly processed confection made from refined syrups, flours, and flavor additives. Sensory details: each twist is soft, stretchy and slightly tacky; chocolate-flavored (not pure chocolate) with a sweet, syrupy chew and a faint vanilla/coalition of flavored notes from artificial flavoring. Packaging is a large, shareable plastic bag, easy to toss in a cooler or pantry. Rituals around it are social — nibbling during movies, biting ends to fashion a straw, dipping into milk or melting and coating for party desserts — reinforcing its role as a convenience-forward, playful treat rather than a health food.
