I'd love to know what everyone thinks of this.

Don’t like the candy.
Do like licorice tea.

And yes apparently intake should be limited.

[UCANSEE2]

I think it’s racist.

Aristotle said that everything in moderation is good. Licorice is no different. I don’t know anyone that eats two ounces of licorice a day for two weeks. I guess the green scat should scare some off from eating it.

NNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[Enten]

Obviously “racist”. s/

[nevadapatriot]

I like black licorice, I just don’t eat that much of it. I have heard there can be issues eating large quantities

The Licorice Crisis

The horror

[Red Badger]

I didn’t like licorice as a kid, much less as an adult................

[Fantasywriter]

I’ve tasted medicines that had a better flavor than black licorice.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

My favorite. Get it at Dollar Tree.

[Robert DeLong]

Never liked black licorice. Red is fine though.

I suppose someone, though not from here, will claim that is racist.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember when you could buy IDEAL brand (I think) unsweetened licorice in a stick. Horrid stuff!

[Paladin2]

Sounds racis’.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Isn’t a lot of our licorice artificially flavored?

Black Licorice Matters

[napscoordinator]

I have always hated black licorice. Worst tasting things on Earth....weirdly I do like red licorice. However, eating 2 pounds of black licorice is insane and deserves to be in health trouble. Talk about gluttony.

[Lizavetta]

Any other Scandinavians out there who like the salty black licorice like Piratos and double salt Dutch stuff?

Toxic as hell but it's fabulous.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

The article said 2 ounces not pounds. Not really that much.
