It’s an acquired taste. Of shit.
And what of root beer?
not surprised, american liquorice has a tragic lack of ammonium chloride
Moved to Sweden, tried salted licorice. Somehow even worse. Ammonium chloride is legitimately the worst flavor I’ve ever had in my mouth and I put everything in there
Liquorice allsorts were a fixture of my childhood. Haven’t had them in decades.
Edit to add: I call the pelotons of road cyclists in their colourful sponsored jerseys ‘The Liquorice Allsorts Crew’.
Their actual quote is “recalled 100 tons for possible fecal contamination”.
But it’s not any more real than OP’s image
Current fda is so fucked they probably like black licorice.
I don’t understand. I honestly love black licorice.
They wouldn’t even make it if no one liked it. I also like dishes that use fennel or anise.
Always have and always will. Red licorice is the garbage one.

I want to stay in bed, eating black licorice.
More for me.
Is the FDA announcing this, so I’m guessing the announcement is that somehow the licorice has been contaminated with uranium or something because they just keep escalating.
The licorice companies are waiting for RFK Jr to make a speech in the shade somewhere, so that a similar looking photo of contaminated licorice can be taken.
This particular screenshot was from 2018, but nowadays you are totally right. Just waiting to see the next thing they announce has been recalled.
I love black licorisse. This is a tragedy
Coming from a country that has a very big licorice-candy based selection, there is a lot of room within the category too, from sweet to salty, from hard to soft licorice.
Some of them I like, some I don’t.
same. it’s an acquired taste that I grew up with cause my mom ate it. it’s a great treat especially because no one will steal it from me lol
It’s offensive… But I get it.
I love some black licorice. Could go either way for the ones in the post.
Black licorice, despite comprising only 14% of the total licorice inventory, is responsible for over 50% of customer complaints.
“Recommends chewing a handful of anise seeds and grimacing…”
The chocolate one is also gross and weird and yet you end up eating all of it.
Chocolate licorice is gross and weird in a good way. Black licorice is gross and weird in a gross an weird way.
I’ve never once eaten the chocolate one and I only once took a bite of the black one.
Try the chocolate. It tastes fake but it’s still better than Hershey’s vomit chocolate by far.
