I think from now on every time I enter a room I’m going to announce, “Here I am, with different candy.” XD
Also, it took well over a decade but I have developed a taste for black licorice. But just because I’ve trained myself to stare into the abyss without blinking doesn’t mean it’s not filled with horrors.
I wonder if it’s, like, a genetic thing? My Dad loves black licorice and it’s been a favorite flavor of mine ever since I can remember. I’ll have to give some to Xena and see if she takes after me.
I love licorice, so does Husband-Person. (I even love the all black licorice jelly beans that come out at Easter. I may be one of 5 humans on the planet who will eat them.) We also love marzipan, & have discovered the people who hate one, also hate the other. Perhaps it’s a special genetic trait?
Maybe so! My dad loves licorice and I’ve liked it ever since I was a kid. Granted, I favor the sweeter varieties, but still.
I am also one of those 5 humans, btw. I am always SO disappointed when I bite into one and find out it’s actually grape and I mistook that dark, dark, purple for black. I actually hate artificial grape flavor.
Huh, I’ve never encountered a grape jelly bean. How odd.
Warning: If offered licorice from Scandinavia (and I believe The Netherlands), be very careful because they sometime coat the pieces in salt. Apparently it’s a thing. But I almost retched.

Goes to store, gets a bag of Coffee Crisp. Someone points out that half the neighbours are boycotting Nestle.

blinking is fine, it keeps the eyes from drying out; what you don’t want to do is blink too often, that’s a sign of fear

I have never heard of these but I would 100% eat them.

I made up the packaging, but I know they make black licorice in the shape of cats!
