Do people still eat licorice?
Hi everyone.
Do you eat licorice?
What is your favorite?
The reason I'm asking is, last night I was at a tavern having a drink with a friend, and they were serving a black licorice drink.
Well, I bought one. It was not an alcohol drink, but it was something I have never had!
It got me to thinking it people still enjoy the waxy, sometimes greasy, smell, and taste of licorice.
Thanks.
Answers:
black licorice is great, i am one of the few that like it...
every year, the day after easter, i go around to all the drug stores and walmarts and stuff in town and buy up all the black jelly beans... last three years i got 75 pounds, 30 pounds and 80 pounds respectively.
it is possible to eat too much of it- there have been reports of people being hospitalized because it drains your potassium.
on the plus side, it helps out with my allergies more than any cold or allergy medicine i've ever used.
plus i love the taste and no one asks if i will share!
hope this is helpful
