These were one of my
favorite things to get on Halloween when I was young, and later on
I ALMOST HAD TO GO TO A '12 - STEP' PROGRAM FOR
THEM:

I had such a heavy twizzler (and pepsi) habit that I was trying to figure out a way to tie them end-to-end so I wouldn't have to reach for another one.
(while playing Duke Nukem, naturally.)

STRONG with the DARK SIDE are they.
Once you start down the twizzler path, forever will they dominate your destiny.
The Goetze (Goat's?) caramel/toffee (what's the difference?) looks like the same kind I have seen made by
Kraft.
I have seen those used to make candy apples, which are not bad but hard on your teeth.
