OK, thanks for the offer but black licorice is the only kind for me. Hope that isn’t racist?

Black licorice reminds me of those Smith Bros cough drops mama used to give us when we were little kids. They were cheaper than the red Ludens cherry drops and one usually did the job. Both kinds left a strong after taste that lasted for quite a while, but the cherry wasn’t that bad. Maybe I’ll try red licorice if I get the chance.

I think the last time I tried anything with black licorice was Black Jack chewing gum. Back in the 60’s, a test pilot I worked with during the F111 flight test program said it came highly recommended by Chuck Yeager. It wasn’t bad at all. It did grow some hair on my b*lls even if I did have both feet firmly planted in a telemetry booth as these guys flew. Unfortunately, Black Jack gum became too hard to find in the stores and eventually I had to give it up.

Sorry to take the conversation off topic.
