Anyone remember when you could buy a stick of medicinal licorice from the drugstore? Unsweetened it was HORRIBLE! I believe the name stamped into the stick was IDEAL.

I remember when this was broadcast all over the news and other outlets. That was over 40 years ago. Now, it is deja vu all over again.

I hated licorice even as a kid.

Other kids loved the stuff.

To me it was like chewing on a old inner tube................

Actually a very informative article. Not a scare article at all. Would you prefer not to be informed.

Everything is a poison, it’s the dosage that makes a difference.

I’ve been making my own for a long time, using a low sodium brine with lite soy sauce plus sugar and some other seasonings.

Good and Plenty is another one. Yuck. I liked it when I was little though we were rarely given treats like today.

I thoroughly enjoy real licorice. Not black twizzlers or any of that fake stuff. There’s a brand called Panda from Finland which is the real thing and it is quite tasty. But I don’t buy it often simply because like anything else that’s really tasty I’ll eat until it’s gone.

As my father used to say moderacy in all things, except moderacy.

Why haven’t you been assassinated yet by the licorice industry?
