Twizzlers
Good & Plenty was first produced by the Quaker City Confection Company in 1893 and is the oldest branded candy in the United States. The black licorice candy is coated in a hard candy shell to form a capsule shape. The pieces are colored bright pink and white and packaged in a purple box.
For many years Good & Plenty was known for their cartoon mascot, Choo Choo Charlie, who made his debut in a 1950 commercial for the candy. The mascot was an engineer who used Good & Plenty candy to make his train run. Hershey purchased the brand in 1996.
The correct answer is: Good & Plenty.
