Transcript: I Tried EVERY Gluten Free Licorice! *30 Types*
I found 30 different gluten-free Licorice and we’re going to try every single one of them to determine what is the best gluten-free licorice your money can buy and we’re going to start from the least to the most expensive let’s go smart sweets so I think I’ve had this before I think I have too I don’t remember how I.
Felt about it a lot of smart sweets candies get stuck in your teeth easy yeah 12 G of fiber in a serving one bag is a whole serving skip the broccoli get the smart sweets cheers that’s really nice strong flavor is great these didn’t really stick in your teeth classic gluten-free law it’s about a fourth of the size of a Twizzler I.
Think this is a little squishier than um Twizzlers just kind of like melts in your mouth it tastes like those dipping candies like the stick and you lick the stick and then you dip it in the sugar it literally does that’s a snipe it’s a little bit sour there’s no artificial coloring in here and I was thinking we were going to be consuming a lot of red.
Dye this is somewhat healthier this is we’re off to a good start belly oh I was thinking Jelly Belly sounded familiar I almost bought the Jelly Beans by accident but I didn’t there’s Scotty dogs which there’s a few Scotty dogs during the course of these 30 Licorice and I don’t know why why are.
We consuming a dog why is that maybe licorice is like a European kind of Scottish I looked it up and it was it was just like this is It’s been around for a while and it’s just a shape cute yeah they’re cute I just feel a little guilty this one kind of looks like H it looks just like them we got red black and we got strawberry these are kind of.
The main three flavors that we’ll be trying throughout today you’ll notice with the different brands we’ll do the red first yeah I’m excited for vase oh it smells like bubble gum the one used to eat a baseball games Che this is a big guy o see that oh man you can hear my jaw clicking as I eat look that lock jaw I’m not going to finish it I’m not.
Getting this out of my teeth it tastes good it is an absolute Menace on the on the MERS I can’t even talk let’s see if this has the dye in it red 40 red 40 it tastes like a red Jelly Bean doesn’t taste like red liquorice to me that was so bad that it’s like almost so good I want to have all it’s not bad no it tastes really good but the chewing part.
Is a yeah it’s it’s honestly like it’s still in my teeth feels like you’re working out this is can we just share that I have to tear this dog in half no you bite it then I’ll bite it it’s our first black licorice of the night cavies oh my God it has that anise anise flavor I like it is it anise an it’s strong flavor it kind of starts just like.
Tiptoeing and once you let it in it’s like a domino effect it’s all over your mouth after that yeah it was settle up first and I got stronger sneak attack tastes like a cleaning fluid I was thinking that my palette has grown so much now that I’m 30 and maybe I was going to like the black licorice at this point in my life cuz the last time I’ve.
Had it I was probably 18 so far not great this is the strawberry one and I’m a sucker absolute sucker for strawberry pal cleanser I can’t wait to not chew these anymore I’ll tell you that they’re stuck in my gums one softer that’s an easier chill M you look way softer this one tastes like the the strawberry candy the hard candy had the strawberry.
Wrapper on it with the liquid inside it also tastes like watermelon Bazooka Bubble Gum like the big chunky ones the cubes I’m a fan of that one this is the best one of the three candy treat these ones I was excited to try Cherry raspberry black licorice and strawberry I think we should do the.
Black licorice at the very end because it kind of overpowers certified organic I love them let’s sck in we got a lot of Licor ey to eater Cherry twist probably the closest looking to a Twizzler or a red vine that you’ll see in this video Twizzler red vine must have like some sort of trademark on that look because.
None of these look like that oh it’s hard yeah it’s disappointing not sticking to the teeth like Jelly Belly just almost tastes stale I think my jaw is going to fall out by the end of this whole video it’s a very subtle cherry flavor I like the amount of flavor it has I don’t really think the flavor is that great it’s.
Super subtle the texture isn’t great raspberry you want put this yeah see that was even hard if I wasn’t so jacked I would have able to do that doesn’t taste like anything no okay I hit to the m pretty tast this pretty tasty I’m I just talking to myself I can’t taste it yet now I taste it m I like this one yeah I like it too just takes a year for.
You to actually taste it it’s extended release flavored you chew it for 10 seconds to get one second of taste it’s subtle too strawberry where did you buy these I got these on gluten-free mall so these are flavored with fruit juice and actual fruit which I applaud I literally can’t taste this one yet no it’s the same thing it’s coming to me now it.
Doesn’t come in like a full wave like the other two this comes on very subtly you don’t taste anything and it just kind of like trickles its way it’s just like a little shy guys like hey hi that’s all you got I feel like if this was like a fruit roll kind of candy that flavoring would be really tasty The Taste is pretty good but the texture is.
Just too hard it’s like pointy it like hurts to it like get you it’s like in the tong all right now the this one if this one doesn’t have that much flavor give me all the an seed at this point I S pronouncing it right there’s no way I actually pronounced ance to my mom earlier today and she laughed at me so I don’t know if I’m saying it right I.
Thought you were the strong one wow I got Wonder Woman right next to me this one’s somehow harder than the rest look at hard okay Che it look I don’t like this one I don’t like this one no actually it’s getting a little better this one doesn’t taste as strong very bitter I like it I don’t like the texture but I like the taste of it bag.
Of these you could really hurt someone with this thing for $4 for that pack I don’t know I’d rather get the smart sweets those are the cheapest but whenever I go in the store and see those I’m like oh my God I’m not buying those they’re so expensive St cute I knew Serena would like this.
One well this looks like you could just throw it in your purse this is also organic this looks like you get at like a natural food store where did I get it I got on Amazon oh my God this is not what I was expecting let me see this is not licorice wait what it looks like a zinc pill this is I thought it was going to be sticks it says licorice licorice.
So this has a nie essential oil too in fennel it looks like this is like a little mint container I’m kind of excited Chin Chin tin hit you immediately oh my God it’s really strong I kind of like it it hits you like a mint wood with mint but it’s with like not minty bitter the anise the anise and the fennel mix together I.
Think really oh it’s hitting me from all cylinder I want these for my purse I don’t want so when I go on first dates I’ll have fresh breath perfect I’ll stick with the Altoid it tastes like black licorice all right next is let’s give take a stab out take a stab out this one oh I picked the heart one forgive me if I butcher this laix.
Fabricin lacritz fabricin Lait fabricant could be any of them Lae laitz fabricant so it’s Swedish we got four different ones of these there’s actually more different types of this brand I found this on licorice Heaven which it’s got to be the ghost to spot for all things licorice these are vegan and gluten-free I think a lot of.
These are vegan though and these are like a premium licorice $6 a bag they’re sweet salty rather Berry and then we got this fun one chocolate glazed licorice stick all right we’re going to start with the salty Li it looks like an eraser Che no was that like the craziest thing.
You’ve ever tasted the end tastes like pure salt gosh that was interesting I didn’t mind it at first but now it’s like it came on strong and it never let down I feel like someone poured a teaspoon of salt in my mouth we did that together let’s try the sweet one I don’t that was honestly some of the craziest thing I’ve ever tasted hit you right on.
The it’s like a Mac I have nightmares sometimes or weird dreams that I have salt in my mouth and I can’t get it all out and I’m trying to take it out that tastes exactly like it that being said the texture is really nice all right let’s try the sweet that’s much better that’s good black licorice that tastes like the.
Inside of a fig newton with a nce the texture is that’s what I’d want in a licorice compared to the black salty licorice it’s way better I thought the raspberry was going to be a fun little oh let’s try the rasp it’s salty too oh gosh I feel like I’m getting dizzy eating this I do too are humans supposed to consume this much licorice this one.
Doesn’t smell good no it doesn’t it literally tastes like iodized salt poured into your mouth it tastes like I’m eating a belt oh my God yeah I don’t like it at first I it tasted good it was just raspberry at first for one miraculous second it just tasted like raspberry and I was like oh maybe they step back in the salt I’ve never tasted.
Anything like those and then now we got got salt frosted chocolate sticks this is dark chocolate so I think old Philly can have it that looks like a chocolate covered pretzel I’m not looking forward to this oh it’s squishy inside that is also very interesting okay no he’s so dramatic well I also got nervous it says make a.
Train traces of milk so I spat it out we got to we got we have we have to move on feel beat up stops on to Dutch licorice made in the Netherland semi firm salt is this a thing like salty liquor wait contains coconut may contain gluten and soy as you can see that’s due to the glucose syrup after a bit of research.
This may be safe for celiac I don’t know enough about it with glucose syrup in the process of remove the gluten protein I know it’s not safe for people with the wheat allergy but also I think I got the wrong bag cuz as you can see here the green bag doesn’t have that call out for gluten oh I’ll taste it I’ll do my best I just didn’t want the salty lior at the.
End of the day I have a c on my tongue and it literally stung when I went like that stung salt just don’t bite it salty might be worse than the first one no it’s not as salty Willoughby waby no I think it’s Wy wabby Willoughby WABE oh yeah Wy wabby so this one now I’m like looking.
At all the ingredients there’s one a Stevia in it well this has one gam of sugar oh okay that makes sense Wy wabby makes gluten licorice too so make sure when you’re buying it you got the glutenfree one get the gluten-free one I think at one point they had two flavors but I could only find this one in lme it’s very berry thank goodness I need.
Some things that that it’s not black like her is right now this is very squishy it’s like squishing it’s malleable I’m excited for this one very squishy that’s good it’s good oh my God this is good very squishy I’ve never had a texture like this it tastes like I’m eating like a frog tongue e it has a raspberry flavor to it oh look it.
So sticky we got like three Clump next to each other and s’s Malou is absolutely watering it literally is the only thing that’s detering this from being a potential top for me is the texture it’s really really squishy doesn’t stick to your teeth like some other brands it’s not really a like a Twizzler uh texture texture I going to.
Put that in my stocking every Christmas all right we’re moving on to another familiar face yum Earth yum Earth let’s bring this train back on the track we got red we got black we got strawberry and I don’t know what two of them are but there two of them are a new recipe oh it’s not red it’s called.
Pomegranate you never really see pomegranate flavored candies I know you’re right organic really I don’t think any allergen in here and it’s colored with actual fruit checking awful lot of boxes for a lot of people right now does cost $7 okay I got off the sight too all right you got a good a little amount in here these are dainty.
Little fellas these feel really really hard yeah feel hard hard candy yeah weird it’s like you’re eating wax oh my God that can’t be the texture these expired it like turned into dust on the first bite you bite into it it’s like eating candle wax these taste like marzipan I don’t hate it curious if this one has the same texture if that’s the.
One with the new formula and that’s the new formula that doesn’t taste like licorice at all that’s got to be a bag that’s 10 years old speaking of old formula why is this one so long so interesting just not what you think when you have licorice the tastes are pretty good the texture is just so different your mind blow the strawberry.
Has a better less Dusty powdery bite but not that much less all right now the black they just taste like maybe it was out in the cold or something I’m curious if this one will taste like this way different texture oh yeah that’s like a licorice texture it’s chewy I like that one yeah that’s my favorite black licorice we’ve had and the texture was.
Nice T the candy is good in plenty candies I’m assuming that’s the texture that these are supposed to taste like that texture has like kind of that hard exterior but squishy once you bite into it taste is solid texture is just inconsistent gims these are another Scotty dog this.
One also looks like hoe Howe come here how how this is the same exact dog it’s the same thing Scotty dogs is like a is like a thing in the licorice world I guess we have strawberry and black 750 for a bag of these puppies I want to compare what gimbals versus the Jelly Belly looks like yeah is this the same it’s the same exact mold it’s not as.
Strong as a as the Jelly Belly it’s actually kind of nice it’s just holding on to my teeth like it’s about to fall off a cliff no high fruit toast car can I compare them side by side I would love if you did that I just have the gimbals yeah I’m going to have the Jelly Belly I think it’s literally the same thing this one looks like the strawberry.
One too yeah did we just discover something I want to compare the ingredients oh my God it’s got to be the same thing come the strawberry was softer that’s r on the C liter it’s the same exact ingredient the same exact ingredient exact same we got you people it’s just like a is this like a we discovered the case someone high can.
Someone high five me jol B was cheaper I really like the strawberry and it doesn’t stick to your teeth like the other ones you’re like that looks just like me it’s a long kiss I don’t ever get kisses like that mom’s place mom mom’s place we got red black and.
Strawberry oh my gosh Scotty dog oh my God are they all using the same one who’s making these is it the same has way less ingredients this one’s certified gluten-free pretty sick I’m going to try the the strawberry cuz I just had all right yeah give me one of those so this is a website mom’s place they they make a ton of stuff I got a.
Banana bread from them too I haven’t made it yet looks exactly the same I mean no this one’s different yeah must be the mold thing then this one the flavor kind of has that delayed release we need to floss our teeth tonight good though I like that mil bad you like that one yes so far I haven’t really liked any red ones a it’s hard what is yeah.
Heck this tastes like medicine it reminds me of something let me cook let me C Pepto Bismol yes let him go let him go you tastes like Pepto Bismol I kind of like Pepto Bismol so do I Pepto Bismol in a dog form not bad red 40 that has red 40 in it mhm nowhere we feel good tomorrow I’m exhausted chewing this that one’s good too that’s it.
Another really chewy one it’s stuck all up in the teeth the only difference it tastes exactly the same as the other Scotty dogs but I feel like for some reason the flavor comes on a few seconds after if you like black licorice you you you’ll probably like this it’s just the getting stuck to your teeth thing it’s like really hard all my teeth I’m.
Embarrassed I keep picking it I’m T like I’m biting into a rubber Mal card W tastes pretty good SE I like the shape of these I’m I actually very excited you know what they say seiz the day got to seize it to believe it Seas get to grease sees look adorable I love the packaging so we’re.
Going to start with red I’m like sweating this has been a lot of work this is nice and Squishy feels like a little form of currency like a Deon Che it’s chewy kind of get stuck to your tee it’s really stuck to mine I can’t really taste it that well it’s more subtle if the other ones that at 100% flavor this is at like a 75 and I’m okay with that.
This is probably my favorite Red Liquor and I would say it probably tastes closest to a twizzle I was just thinking and I think none of them do this is the closest yeah closest is there red 40 in this yeah I wonder know why I’m acting upset about red 40 I’m like acting like an upset disappointed parent I don’t care I’ll.
Eat it the black one way easier to chew not that easy to chew though no this one you don’t taste the anise at all well you do I do yeah I do not as pungent as the other ones all right the strawberry I feel like I’m going to like this one I I told you guys I’m a sucker from Strawberry easier to chew tasted pretty authentic to like licorice of what I I.
Remember from like a Twizzlers but just kind of still get stuck to your teeth a little bit not as much I have a little of every single one of these Stu I know I could if I opened my mouth you guys would be grossed out I like the strawberry the best it tastes like the Scotty dog strawberries we’ve had but more subtle bag of these though will run.
You $9 so oh my God we’re moving on to the most expensive of all of the expensive licorice I don’t know I don’t know what I’m saying this is a premium brand they make a ton of different types of licorice so I only got I got a couple of the more popular ones like the salty and the red and I got one fun one they have a lot of fun ones chocolate coated.
Let’s just take it out I don’t know why I feel know when you going to feel like I was like Jimmy Fallon doing an introduction I don’t know what I was doing right there Lacs by boo they look fancy believe it or not really expensive this is $12 these are made in Denmark you can buy them on Amazon some.
This looks good the strawberry flavor in it this one was crafted by Oliver oh that’s cool I like that this one is too Ollie Ollie this one looks good I you know Oliver makes the best uh Lacs this is the red kind of a jellyish but not squishy I like the consistency of this one it’s like a Twizzler yeah used to either squishy or sticky but this is.
Like a Twizzler like breaks down into fragments in your teeth true Twizzler texture I like it those is the best red by far the flavor is like a natural flavor it doesn’t taste like as close to a Twizzler as something like a sieg this more so tastes like a flavorful version of the candy tree we had earlier it’s vegan this is the salty you know which.
We love salty I don’t know let’s see how they do the C do salted Denmark versus Sweden the consistency of this is really interesting this is more squishy and it’s super salty no oh my God I need my sodium level Str I’m interesting the flavor is really good so there’s a sweet version of this too of the black one you don’t.
Get the sweet version I would recommend the sweet over the salty unless you like super salty things I want to know who eats the salty licorice it’s it’s shocking this I was super excited and I can’t eat it cuz it has milk in it but R can eat it and I’m so jealous it looks like an m& this is a passion fruit chocolate coated.
Licorice contains milk soy and coconut please hold those are good oh it’s white chocolate they got a lot of fun flavors I like the texture of that one cuz like when you bite into it it’s really soft and then so much f as you mix it around in your mouth the crunch from the shell it’s like eating a like a chocolate covered peanut so actually little.
Surprise oh my God no way before we finish up and tell you guys our favorite of these licorice is Licor licorice I don’t know we got two things the first we’re doing a giveaway all you need to do to enter is to subscribe and comment licorish and spell it right you have to say good luck on the spelling there’s a couple ways to spell it so it’s exciting.
And the second thing is one of the most highly recommended licorice dupes on the Reddit threads was actually oddly enough ooh Sweedish fish so we’re going to try that after trying all the other licorice dupes to see if this is actually a good licorice dupe and then we’re going to tell you guys our favorite this is my favorite childhood candy my brother.
Loved Swedish Fish and I never liked them cuz I have a little fish charm I love Swedish Fish when I was little perfect I don’t know I’m smelling I just ate a pack of these yesterday see I don’t usually like to texture these cuz they stick to your teeth but after what we went to this was going to be a bre those don’t stick to your teeth not at.
All who told you that lot of red 40 in here is it a licorice dup I mean if you’re mixing it in with like the strawberry flavored ones the pomegranate yeah those aren’t traditional licorice flavors this taste somewhere between the red licorice we had and the strawberry licorice somewhere like in the middle of those and the texture of these.
Specifically they kind of just melt I’m used to them sticking to your teeth I don’t know maybe I’m crazy maybe I forgot those were my stockings thank you Mom thank you Kim so we tried every single glutenfree licorice could buy your money could buy and my favorite is Willoughby WABE smart sweet those are really good those are probably even my.
Second watch another video it’s going to be right over s’s face I’m going to put it right over her no she thinks it’s going to be next to her it’s going to be right over her face uh-huh y what’s your second what’s your outside of these outside of these I would say C’s is my second favorite oh I love this one St Claire’s I can’t wait to not eat liquor.
Anymore all right
