  Black licorice is best licorice. Red licorice is just a sugar rope. Licorice is anise flavor and is an amazingly complex experience!

  Fight me.

    I actually agree, but I didn’t when I was a kid

    When I was a kid I wanted sugar rope, I didn’t want a complex experience.

    Fun fact: in the rest of the world it’s just called “licorice”. No black. That red stuff isn’t licorice at all.

  Honestly, in hindsight, the variability was the most fun part of Halloween. Every kid knows they could just as easily ask their parents for $10 and get a bag of candy bars, but it’s ultimately the variety of what I could be getting and the unpredictability that made me excited. Was there sometimes weird shit I didn’t like? Sure, but probably just as often, there was some weird shit I did like that other kids probably didn’t, so I think it evens out. There were definitely kids out there who were jazzed to get black licorice, or there were some parents that were jazzed to get a small treat on the side after a night of escorting their kid(s) around since their kid(s) didn’t want it.

    Totally.

    TRICK OR treat. The candy might be bad, the porch might be scary. It was about the experience, not just shoveling in 4000 calories of your favorite candy.

    Best was having an international community in your neighborhood and coming home with some weird Korean candy among the usual tootsie rolls and dumdums.

    I wouldn’t go that far but I like it just fine. My dad does too. Maybe it’s generic, like how some people think cilantro tastes like soap or how I know that bitter vegetables taste like poison.

  TIL that in American liquorice is called licorice.

  Black liquorice is great, damn kids just want to eat a bowl of sugar nowadays.

    do any brands make allsorts that actually taste like or have real licorice?

      Look for brands from the Netherlands.
