I knew there was a reason for black licorice, it’s a conspiracy! That’s why they add banana flavored runts and produce circus peanuts (Bethe I totally agree they are the grossest) They look like candy … it’s a trap! Kids should be warned.
I’m starting to feel like an outcast. I like black licorice. I like circus peanuts. And I like banana Runts (or I did the last time I had one, which was probably 20 years ago). I suppose you’re all going to tell me Peeps are supposed to be gross too?
While I agree with you on the black licorice and circus peanuts points, you can’t hate on Banana Runts! Or… you can hate them, and just send them all to me.
Black licorice you are only appreciated by those with refined palettes. People who love you also love to eat fennel and anise seed and may like Greek ouzo, Italian sambuca, Dutch Brokmöpke… Let the haters hate — we love you for who you are.
“I made a man from marzipan and kept him in a box,
he told me stories of the Candy War,
the day that licorice took up arms against the sweets and chocs,
a fight the world had never seen before.”
Now if you want REALLY NASTY candy, try HOREHOUND candy. Our grandpa used to bring us bags of horehound lozenges, and I thought they were like rootbeer candy everytime, but then I would be fooled with the horrendous taste of horehound! Yucky….
You stink, black licorice. No, really. No one likes you. Go home.
Awww I like black licorice. It is definitely a love it/hate it flavor though.
booooo! I love real black liquorice! :)
I’m trying to figure out why that Pepto Bismol bottle looks so much like a stick of licorice.
The only black licorice candy I can tolerate is Snaps. http://www.candyfavorites.com/blog/claps-for-licorice-snaps/ All other black licorice/anise flavored stuff is for the birds.
I hate black licorice, but a glass of sambuca with three coffee beans is the best way that specific flavor is represented.

The espresso beans look like rabbit turds.
Black liquorice is amazing! But only if you find the real stuff. Not that fake twizzlers crap…
I love you long time, black licorice. Now, if you run into circus peanut, tell him he is the grossest of the gross.
This.

The candy you get when you’ve been BAD!

I don’t agree! I love black licorice and for those who don’t, i’m perfectly alright w it, cause it leaves more for those of us who do :)
I can only stand the taste if its in the form of a glass of absinthe.
“I made a man from marzipan and kept him in a box,
he told me stories of the Candy War,

Here’s the 1st verse of “Candy Wars” which is worth a read or listen.

Agree! My mom loves those and I can’t figure out why. I think it’s gross.
I’m with What’s-His/Her-Name up there: I love real black licorice, not fake Twizzlers.
Licorice, licorice, black sweet licorice black sweet licorice! Have some!
Licorice is rightly immortalized in “Amahl and the Night Visitors,” the operetta by Menotti.
