ok it's not cooking, recipes...but it is food..

I am making a 'poodle' cake this weekend and need to find liquorice sticks that are twisted, you know, the ones you can pull apart into 3 long thin pieces.
Here's the problem...I've been to Coles, Woolies, DJ's and Darrell Lea and they all have the 'fake' twists - done by a machine. This way they only look twisted but you cant unwind them...
Help, suggestions...??
