Answer 2

Liquorice candy (licorice in American English) is flavored with the extract of the roots of the licorice plant, and usually anise oil as well. A wide variety of liquorice candies are produced around the world. In the U.S., the most common form of liquorice candy is known as black licorice and normally consists of chewy ropes or tubes. In the Commonwealth a mixture of various liquorice candies is known as liquorice allsorts. In North America, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, there is also a product known as red liquorice, which is extruded in a way to resemble licorice, but is made with strawberry or cherry flavorings rather than liquorice. More recently similar products have been introduced in a wider variety of flavors including apple, mango, blackcurrant, watermelon and strawberry, among others. Twizzlers (by Hersheys) and Red Vines are the most well known product brands of this type in the United States, in Australia these are produced by Darrell Lea and several other companies. However, it should be noted that while the common name for this candy has now become "red liquorice", or often simply "liquorice", this candy has little connection to actual liquorice in composition or flavor. Consequently, the term "black liquorice" (or "black licorice") has become a retronym.
