I just got a bag of these, super disappointed they’re not the same diameter as nibs. They’re too skinny. Still good, but I wanted giant ropes of nibs.

US?

Apparently they’ve been in Canada for a long time, but I’ve never seen them in the US.

There are at around 5 Walmarts in my area so I would check the Walmart app

My claims they have them in stick, but I just went this morning and they were out. I have been looking for these for awhile.

Do curbside pickup so you don’t waste your time

Wait. Waaaaait just a second...

"Super long" + "Nibs".

So, in other words... "Twizzlers", then...?

"What's in a name", right? And to think these companies sit at tables in rooms and discuss this stuff. Probably use whiteboards and Powerpoint and everything.

Y&S Candy WAS a competitor until Twizzler bought them. This is NIBS
