Not a shitpost, but don’t eat too much black licorice all at once, it can cause heart problems. Too much of the glycyrrhizin produced naturally in the plant’s root that’s used to make black licorice causes your kidneys to flood potassium out into your blood and it’ll mess up the electrical signals in your heart. You have to eat like two bags a day for two weeks though.
Eh, I can’t eat it anymore, anyway. Gives me a headache.
Most licorice candy is actually made from anise root, which has no glycyrrhizin.
The chocolate one is also gross and weird and yet you end up eating all of it.
Well, now I want to try a peanut butter and black licorice sandwich on sourdough toast with butter.
I bet that would be amazing.
We’re gonna need a name for this sandwich, too.
I’ve never once eaten the chocolate one and I only once took a bite of the black one.
Try the chocolate. It tastes fake but it’s still better than Hershey’s vomit chocolate by far.
Chocolate licorice is gross and weird in a good way. Black licorice is gross and weird in a gross an weird way.
Black licorice, despite comprising only 14% of the total licorice inventory, is responsible for over 50% of customer complaints.
responsible for over 50% of customer complaints.
and I quote a complaining customer : “And yet AGAIN there wasn’t enough of it in the package”
I want to stay in bed, eating black licorice.
🤘
It’s like eating a tire in the best way
Current fda is so fucked they probably like black licorice.
I don’t understand. I honestly love black licorice.
They wouldn’t even make it if no one liked it. I also like dishes that use fennel or anise.
Always have and always will. Red licorice is the garbage one.
Red licorice isn’t even licorice.
I also love licorice =)
I really like licorice root tea, and when I was a kid I’d take the seeds out of star anise pods and suck on them XD
Also a black licorice fan. Got to try a Dutch licorice pipe once and it was great.
I was in my teens, I think, the first time a friend said they liked black licorice. I really thought they were kidding, just blew my mind. I mean, if you like something, you like it, can’t really argue with that. Still.
I think the flavor is too strong on its own for people to appreciate, but you may be surprised how it has been used in dishes you loved.
I’m the opposite. Cannot stand a hint of licorice or anise in any shape or form. It had made me genuinely gag in the childhood. Nowadays it’s just unpleasant to an extreme degree.
P.S.:
I’m not dunking on the thing. If you like, you like. Good for you.
Laughs in Dutch
They’d be correct for once!
More for me.
Their actual quote is “recalled 100 tons for possible fecal contamination”.
But it’s not any more real than OP’s image
Nordics: Good. More for us.
not surprised, american liquorice has a tragic lack of ammonium chloride
To be fair, there’s probably plenty of lead in it.
Well, yeah, we like to shoot at our licorice, as is tradition.
oh it’s sweet liquorice? :/
Salmiak is life.
Moved to Sweden, tried salted licorice. Somehow even worse. Ammonium chloride is legitimately the worst flavor I’ve ever had in my mouth and I put everything in there
Or you’re just weak. If my candy isn’t trying to kill me, what’s the point.
I tried one of the saltiest ones there while actively suffering from kidney failure so it was literally killing me.
It tasted amazing.
Worst flavor? Have you tried petrol or brake fluid?
don’t think we have those flavours of candy in stock but i’ll check in the back
Liquorice allsorts were a fixture of my childhood. Haven’t had them in decades.
The best part is that clump only counts as one piece.
I get them in the Dutch section in the “international foods” aisle in my local grocery story. (I know they’re from more places than the Netherlands, that’s just where I find them.)
Unfortunately, these days it feels like there’s poison in almost everything, as if they’re trying to kill us faster.
I love black licorisse. This is a tragedy
same. it’s an acquired taste that I grew up with cause my mom ate it. it’s a great treat especially because no one will steal it from me lol
Coming from a country that has a very big licorice-candy based selection, there is a lot of room within the category too, from sweet to salty, from hard to soft licorice.
Some of them I like, some I don’t.
The sweat tasting ones are the best!
It’s offensive… But I get it.
I love some black licorice. Could go either way for the ones in the post.
Same here. I’m actually having some as I type this.
It’s an acquired taste. Of shit.
And what of root beer?
Too honest to be coming from this FDA
It tastes like shit and there is some evidence it even lowers testosterone. It has no redeeming qualities
In that case, foreign armies could deploy millions of bags of them at invading US military, turning them Low-T and making Pete Hegseth fire them! Tactics. Always tactics.
