I know that this is not related but I cannot unsee the comments about a similar sweet (Haribo sugar free bear) [1]
We do not have these in France (despite having the Haribo museum in the south) so I cannot tell whether this is true or just a sophisticated ad campaign.
I am generally very skeptical about food that is completely made up from non-food (that is above "processed") but in the case of licorice this is a sweet we had in France since always (from what I saw, you usually have the ones who love out and the onces who hate it, with a rather empty "meh" section)

- throwanem 6y agoAll sugar alcohols do this, not just xylitol. It's worth keeping in mind, as they are quite common sugar substitutes.
- nicoburns 6y agoI think non-foods are things like sweeteners which we literally can't digest and just go straight through us. They're not nutritious, and thus arguably aren't food at all (although you can eat them).
