Cinnamon Twizzlers Fire Pull-n-Peel

Today during my lunch break I ventured through the cold and wandered the 20 feet next door to the Walgreens. My initial intentions were to kill some time and get out of the office. But midway through reading the latest gossip in Entertainment Weekly something caught my eye. It was an employee setting up a display for Twizzlers, but these were no ordinary Twizzlers, they were “Cinnamon Twizzlers Fire” and to top it off they were of the pull-n-peel variety.

If you have lived in a cave for the last ten years and do not know what pull and peel is let me tell you. Pull-n-Peel is a fantastic spin off of the original Twizzlers; they take nine shoestring-thin ropes and stick them all together to combine one solid as a soft candy rope. Granted studies show that only 7.4% of people actually “pull-n-peel”***, despite these studies the people at Twizzlers feel that weather you choose to “pull-n-peel” or not the candy still tastes fantastic.

Anyway, I obviously purchased two packs of the Cinnamon Twizzlers Fire Pull-n-Peel and once again fought the elements in my 20 foot walk back to my office. I was so excited to try them out I failed to notice that the cashier overcharged me to the amount of $.98. Instead of two for $2.00, which the sticker attached to the package so clearly displayed, I got charged the normal price of $1.49 per bag.

Undaunted by the loss of $.98 I continued on with enjoying my new found snack. I opened the package, and without pulling or peeling, I gave one a bite. It was pretty good, it tasted like Hot Tamales crossed with Atomic Fireballs. During the next twenty minutes I managed to consume nearly half the bag, obviously ignoring the nutrition label that glared back at me saying “serving size 1 piece”.

After some more research on why I have never seen these before I discovered that they are only exclusively at Walgreens. This is a great marketing ploy by Twizzlers and Walgreens. Walgreens, by landing this exclusive contract with Twizzlers is basically saying "in your face CVS Pharmacy". This candy alone will surely put them over the top in their competition to dominate your candy and medication needs.

Overall Cinnamon Twizzlers Fire Pull-n-Peel is a great snack with the perfect amount of cinnamon kick to it. They also prove themselves as being very addicting, less than three hours of purchasing them I had consumed the entire bag. Despite being over-charged the Cinnamon Twizzlers Fire Pull-n-Peel over-delivered in my book that’s why I’m giving them a perfect 5 flying monkeys out of five
