PSA: don't overdo it on black licorice

[kage69]

Black licorice is dangerous huh? Here I was thinking it just made cat shit look appetizing.

I don't really need another reason to avoid it, but good to know all the same.

I think the real problem here is that the black licorice tends to be much longer and thicker than the white. We need to keep our women safe from falling victim to this dangerous licorice.

Quite the reverse actually!

See? Way more girth and weight than a pack of shitty candy.

Black licorice is disgusting. Licorice in general is pretty gross. Wife and kid love it but I can't stand it.

You candy asses better respect my authority or I'll poison you

I make a sauce with licorice powder, grated ginger, soy sauce and sugar. Dip sliced tomatoes in it. Nom nom.

Or just licorice powder, salt and sugar.

I just made an amazon order, and forgot to get licorice candy. Have to make another order now :^S

edit:
Just ordered ~8# of licorice. Keep you eyes on the news in the next few weeks! :^D

I got a shit ton of Venco skolekridt. It was a good bit cheaper than Fazer, which I like a lot. Hope it's as good or better.

I found some very nice black licorice today:

Darrell Lea soft black licorice is from Australia and is very tasty.

I haven't eaten black licorice in a long time, and now I have a craving for it. I like the way it feels in my mouth.

Dude was 54. My guess is he was eating black licorice for decades.

Seeing this in the news also made me order some. I ordered some "Gustafs Dutch Licorice Double Salt Classic Salt Licorice Coins" that arrived over the weekend. So far I've eaten exactly 1. Definitely takes some getting used to, and I normally like really salty food. I probably won't buy any more.

If those are like Piratos, it's an acquired taste. The salmiak's pretty strong in them. Salty licorice isn't stereotypically salty. The ammonium chloride is a whole different experience.

I didn't throw away the bag or anything, so I'll probably eat one here and there and see if it grows on me. It definitely was different than anything I've eaten before. Maybe I should find something milder to start out with.

These are pretty good for a salty taste that isn't extremely ammonia-like...

These are a hard candy with powdered salt inside, but it's fairly mild. There's a couple flavors in the bag, and one of them reminds me of Ludens menthol coughdrops. They're really good...

Dude was 54. My guess is he was eating black licorice for decades.

Or you could read the link. "Eating as little as 2 ounces of black licorice a day for two weeks could cause a heart rhythm problem, especially for folks over 40, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns... The man had switched from red, fruit-flavored twists to the black licorice version of the candy a few weeks before his death last year."
