Wow.. unusual case but perhaps black licorice needs to come with warning labels!

  It does: it has a horrible, awful taste!

    evolution has armed us with a way of detecting food that is not good for us but in this case since its all blended with sugar and other dietary "desirable" ingredients it may fool us.

      I think black licorice must be genetic. Some people actually enjoy that flavor.

    Huh, so it's not just me. I always wondered.

      It's like Marmite.. you either love it or hate it (I hate it).

        I actually found it meh. It's just weird.

    Every time you post something it’s something I could have posted myself. This is truly weird as we share the same name.

    It is such a delicious flavor. Mmmmm... Red licorice is a scam!

      I like red licorice, but probably because it's just sugary and has some generic 'red' flavor to it. Edit I got curious and looked it up. It is indeed not really licorice: http://archive.boston.com/business/articles/2011/08/29/whats_the_difference_between_red_and_black_licorice/ http://archive.boston.com/business/articles/2011/08/29/whats...

  It doesn't in the US? The strongest liquorice in Germany has to be labelled (translated word-by-word) as "Strong liquorice, extra strong, liquorice for adults - not children's liquorice" [0] [0] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakritz#Zusammensetzung_von_Lakritzwaren https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakritz#Zusammensetzung_von_La...

    That just sounds like an invitation to try! No indication of possible harmful effects?
