Hello, incredible individuals!

This is something I've been mulling over for YEARS, and I'm SO happy to finally bring this knowledge to the world! It took a massive public survey, three blind international taste tests, and a deep dive into the scientific literature to figure it out, but we now know which red licorice reigns supreme - and why.

No matter whether you're #TeamTwizzlers or #RabidForRedVines, you're going to love this one. And even if you aren't a red licorice fan, the cool science in this video explains so much about how our taste preferences are shaped, and what they mean for our eating experience in general. Here's your early access: https://youtu.be/TF3ZDZBSzzs

Thanks for continuing to help make videos like this - ones that are engaging, educational, and hopefully bring food lovers together, one twist at a time.
