But when I met Petri Tervonen, Fazer’s marketing director at the time, he smiled when I asked if the company had made any big push to export salty licorice outside Northern Europe. Salmiakki’s “taste profile,” he explained, was “much more intense” than the average consumer in a non-salty-licorice country was accustomed to. “So you have a natural kind of barrier.”

For small-scale production, packaging development and material testing, the versatile unit performs forming, sealing and punching operations in consecutive steps at one universal station.

Born in a San Francisco licorice factory in the 1950s, the twists have been the favorite of moviegoers and kids who like to bite off the ends and make a straw for more than half a century. Thanks to their ubiquitous presence, and the East Coast/West Coast feud that has developed between their fans and Twizzlers enthusiasts, they’ve become a cultural hot button, showing up in TV shows like ‘‘Gilmore Girls,’’ ‘‘The Big Bang Theory,’’ ‘‘True Blood,’’ ‘‘Last Week Tonight With John Oliver’’ and ‘‘Weeds.’’ In an episode of ‘‘Parks and Recreation,’’ when the main character, Leslie Knope, is trying to smooth over relations with her fiancé’s dad, she offers him a big bowl of Red Vines.

Palates shift to regional cuisines of Africa, South Asia, and Latin America—driven by Millennials and Gen Z . Much has been said about younger generations' unprecedented exposure to global culture and cuisine from an early age. These consumers are adventurous and seek experience in their travel and in their food, which has led to a shift in interest to authentic regional fare. 

We'd respond with that uncomfortable church-pew laugh, the kind that turns your back on damnation. So many truths and rumours came to stay when Uncle Jim did.

The history of the Pineapple Chunk started in 1953 with Charles Richard Diver, a confectionery chef in Oamaru, New Zealand. He needed to figure out what to do with a bunch of leftover pineapple-flavored marshmallow from another product, so he covered it in chocolate and christened it the Pineapple Chunk. Over the years, Pineapple Chunks — or Pineapple Lumps, depending on the manufacturer — became a classic candy in New Zealand, and Cadbury manufactured its own version until ending production of it in the country earlier this year; now Rainbow Confectionery makes Pineapple Lumps. Don’t confuse them for Australian candy, though — a TV station once included them in a gift box of Australian delicacies meant for the British band One Direction, and New Zealanders were not pleased.

Siphoning off farm subsidies does not carry the same dubious “glamour” as the racketeering or drug running usually associated with the Mafia.
