Extrusion, Of Course

I was on spring break over the past week and we had no internet there so I couldn't post anything new. SORRY EVERYONE! Anyway while I was gone, people commented on this blog and some also asked questions. The most common question is how are Twizzlers made? Well I did some research and here are the results.

Results:

I found multiple answers to this question. Some said that they were made by doing the following with the hot Twizzler candy formula:

1. Squish it down and roll it up and squish it down and roll it up until you can then extrude the candy at the desired diameter.

2. Squeeze the hot goo through extrusion plate.

For the record, extrude means to thrust, press, or expel out. I guess no one will ever know how they are made, or (from different research) how they are twisted or how and why there is a hole in the middle. Any who, I have another fun fact about Twizzlers that some of you probably already know, which is:

Twizzlers make awesome straws.

That fact leads me to the new poll I put up. What kind of beverage are Twizzler straws best in? Vote now!
