    * I’ve tried several brands of sugar free licorice (black) and this by far my favorite. To me, it tastes just like the regular Red Vines black licorice. I just have to be careful not to eat more than about 3 - 5 pieces at a time. Otherwise, it can cause some gastric distress. But having a self-limiting, serving control is not a bad thing. I order some every time I place an order through netrition. It’s not only hard to find elsewhere, but this costs about half of what the red variety does at my local grocery store.

    * Love these things. The only problem is trying not to eat the whole bag at once. Going to order some more especially the licorice.

    * The carbs are far too high for anyone on keto or other lower carb diets. It's supposed to be sugar free, but enough wheat is used that you can literally only eat maybe 1 or 2 vines per day. So, if you lack self control, you'll overeat these. I can eat 1 or 2, but I'd have preferred to know that in advance of purchase. I would have given a bit if a higher rating if I could eat at least 4 at once. Your bag will go stale by the time you get around to eating them all! It's just not worth the use of carbs.

    * Very bland but gives you that licorice chew, it’s like they took the flavor of regular vines and cut it in half

    * These are good. I'm not even a big fan of the regular version of these types of things, and I can eat these. I dont eat them a lot, but it's nice chewing on a couple once in a while.

    I like the strawberry and my wife likes the licorice and eats them regularly.

    * Sugar free is what it is so don't expect the same sweet, soft, and chewy characteristics of the full sugar version -- instead expect a stiffer artificial tasting (maltitol) reasonable substitute. The net carbs equal 14g/4 licorice sticks (strawberry). I might buy again if given a coupon :) -- otherwise, not too horrible a purchase.

    * These are inedible. I bought two packages and threw them in the garbage. Not only do they taste nothing like licorice, they are only sugar free NOT low carb. Don’t waste your money.

    * My wife loves them, she says they taste just like the real sugar version. Only problem is, they are 5 grams of carbs each! They are sugar free, but not low carb friendly so my wife only eats one or two a day. Who wants to stop at one? My wife does it but it would be hard for me...fortunately I dont care for licorice or twizzelrs.

    * I'm surprised at all the positive reviews. These vines were a terrible substitute for the real thing (twizzlers). The texture was waxy, and the flavor very...artificial. Spend the extra pennies on twizzlers instead if you really enjoy sugar free licorice.

    * It's a lovely way to enjoy licorice, 1 problem though, their sticks have started falling apart. Still are soft & chewy but messy & harder to count calories when the sticks are in pieces,

    * I bought these for my diabetic husband who is a candy addict (probably why he is now diabetic) and after a sneaky switch, he loves them! He always buys regular Strawberry Vines and sneaks them in the house, knowing if I find them I will read him the riot act. I found his bag and threw out the regular sugar laden Vines and replaced them with these sugar-free Vines. He was absolutely clueless to the fact and ate the rest of the bag over a couple of days. When he finished the bag, I told him I knew all about the Vines he sneaked in the house and that I had replaced them with a sugar-free version. He was flabbergasted. He actually did not believe me until I showed him the invoice. He said he could not tell the difference at all and has now agreed to only eat the sugar-free version from now on. Mission accomplished! :-) Now if I could just find some sugar-free glazed jelly-filled donuts for his other addiction...........LOL!

    * The flavor of the black version is accurate and delicious, but the texture is very stiff and hard. I wish this company would make an equivalent of the soft "gourmet" Australian licorice that comes in thick, bite sized pieces. I don't think that type requires any more carbs or sugar, it's just a different method of cooking it, or different ratios of ingredients.

    * Excellent sugar-free black licorice. Nice full flavor. Keep sealed in an airtight container (I use zip-loc bags) as they dry out and harden quickly.

    * Very good but with one significant flaw - they are Red Vines brand red licorice, but they aren't Red Vines flavored -- they are strawberry flavored. They are very tasty (though, frankly, for strawberry, I prefer Twizzlers, but these can be a nice change of pace) but real Red Vines are so much better than any strawberry licorice I can't imagine what the company was thinking marketing these but not marketing a sugar-free version of their original product.

    Store in an airtight container (I use zip-loc bags) as they dry out and harden quickly.

    * These are hard to find so I'm glad I found them here. They're really delicious and don't make me gassy like most sugar-free candies do. I actually prefer them to regular Red Vines, which I always thought had a strange aftertaste. The texture is superior to Twizzlers, too!

    * Didn't like these as much as the SF Twizzlers. Both products are a little too hard, but the Twizzler had more flavor.

    On the plus side, they have a MUCH lower carb count then Twizzlers, almost half!

    I may find myself re-buying a bag to sneak into the movies.

    * Very good licorice. Tastes like the real stuff. Be careful as they can become addictive. I've had the Strawberry Flavor and it has a nice strawberry flavor, no odd aftertaste or odd "medicine" taste. Haven't tried the Black licorice as I don't care for it. Good amount at a fair price. Netrition is the only place that I can find this brand of licorice, or ANY brand of sugar free licorice. Well worth the price for the treat of having licorice.

    * American Licorice Company's Sugar Free Vines are AWESOME. Since my husband is diabetic, they are a great alternative to sugar laden sweets. He can indulge his sweet tooth and not feel guilty for blowing his diet. The strawberry flavor and black licorice are great and satisfy his cravings. The American Licorice Company is the brand we loved even before it was necessary to watch his sugar intake. I eat and enjoy the sugar-free items also.

    * These are very satisfying for their calorie worth. Outstanding taste and chewiness with no sugar. It's good to remember that they can have a laxative effect, although I can eat the whole bag in one day with no issues.

    * I love these "vines" candies. They taste just like the normal twists. I love the Black licorice flavor, but have also tried the strawberry and would recommend both. One word of caution, don't eat too many at one time because they do have a laxative affect. (I am not normally affected by the sugar alcohols but these are addictive and I ate a whole bag at one sitting... paid for that one)
