The company was established in 1845 as Young and Smylie , and adopted Y&S as its trademark in 1870 . National Licorice Company was created in 1902 through the merger of three small firms : Young & Smylie , S.V. & F.P. Schudder and H.W. Petherbridge . In 1908 a plant was opened in Montreal and in 1929 the Twizzler brand was established . The company changed its name to Y&S Candies Inc. in 1968 and was acquired by Hershey Foods in 1977 . Since 1999 , Twizzlers have also been manufactured in Memphis , Tennessee , as well as the main Lancaster location , in a Y&S plant that also makes chewing gum and other candies . From 1970 through 1999 , it was manufactured at a plant in Farmington , New Mexico , but relocated the operation to Memphis because of rising transportation costs . According to the Guinness Book of Records , the longest licorice twist ever made measured 1,200 feet ( 370 m ) and 100 pounds ( 45 kg ) and was made at the Y&S Candy Plant in Lancaster , Pennsylvania . This record - breaking twist became a Guinness World Record , on July 19 , 1998 . Flavors and varieties ( edit ) Twisted berry flavor Twizzlers Pull - n - Peel While the original flavor introduced in 1845 was licorice , in the late 1970s the company began to expand its flavors to include strawberry , grape , chocolate , cherry , and watermelon flavors , and a variety of shapes and sizes .

Limited edition cherry cola and `` rainbow '' ( fruit variety consisting of strawberry , orange , lemonade , watermelon , blue raspberry and grape ) flavors were introduced in 2006 . Today all these flavors of `` rainbow '' Twizzlers are still sold in stores and movie theaters . The company also manufactures a special 2 - foot - long ( 61 cm ) variety ; the regular length of Twizzlers is 8 inches ( 20 cm ) . In 2006 , Hershey 's introduced the Sweet and Sour Filled Twist . They come in two different colors , red and yellow , and both have a gooey , fruity filling inside . The yellow flavor is Citrus Punch and the red flavor is Cherry Kick . In 2011 , Super Long Nibs was introduced , combining the flavor and texture of the classic Nib with the length of a standard Twizzlers twist . In May 2013 , the Pull ' n ' Peel introduced its `` Raspberry Wild Berry Lemonade '' flavor . In December 2014 , Twizzlers came out with Pull ' n ' Peel Fruit Punch and Twizzlers filled Strawberry Lemonade varieties . In December 2016 , Twizzlers came out with Pull ' n ' Peel Cherry and Green Apple and Twizzlers filled Strawberry Lemonade varieties .
