Get yourself an actual liquorice root and stop eating this filthy industrial stuff. They're even good for your teeth !
I dunno about the artificial flavored ones, but I know the real deal is bad for you in even modest amounts over a long time. It's fine as long as you're not eating it every day or two. Also it's delicious. There's probably a genetic reason some people don't like it. Like bitter vegetables it cilantro.
Oh you clueless people, black licorice is da bomb.
Black licorice is the only licorice. The colourful ones are foul creations.
Salmiac and licorice are the superior candies.
Can I introduce the Finnish tar-flavored licorice?
Tervaleijona 4-eva, man!
Yeah, I love it too.
I like black licorice. Well, the real stuff anyways. That synthetic flavor is terrible. The meme made me look up the real FDA warning lol
Eating large amounts of black licorice, particularly for those over 40, can pose health risks. Specifically, eating two ounces or more daily for at least two weeks can lead to serious health problems, including irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia), high blood pressure, and even congestive heart failure. This is due to the presence of glycyrrhizin, a compound in licorice root, which can cause potassium levels in the body to drop.
So, the problem is for specific persons with already low potassium and high sodium in their systems, especially those people over 40, by eating at least 2 ounces of black licorice every day for at least two weeks
I like black licorice, but there's no way I would eat it daily for at least two weeks. It's just an occasional palate cleanser kind of thing.
Palate cleanser. For when you dont want the pesky sensation of happiness. It'll cleanse that right out.
If you want the cleansing to be thorough, try adding about 2% of Ammonium chloride to your Licorice.
2 ounces are about 56 gram. I love licorice, but eating that much every single day is a bit extreme.
I eat like, 300 grams at a time? But also not daily, it's just what the size of the packet is.
I just came back from Denmark. They love liquorice over there. They have as much liquorice candy as other places have chocolate. There is more liquorice than chocolate. A couple of times I bought it by accident, thinking it was something else. At one point my friend was so afraid that he made sure that the hot-dog he's buying doesn't contain any liquorice.
Count yourself lucky you didn't visit around 10 years ago. There was a fad, following the rising popularity of "artisan" liquorice, to add liquorice to all sorts of weird stuff, like liquorice bacon, liquorice cheese and so on.
I am a Dane, so naturally I love liquorice, but that shit was heinous, and luckily it didn't catch on except for the liquorice chocolate and liquorice ice cream, which has both since become a staple here as well.
Switch places? I adore black licorice. Put it in all my shit, chocolate, ice cream, fruit whatever. Just put it in.
I really wanna make a Doc Holiday meme for ya, but it's not that kind of day. The thought was there, though.
Gimme the idea and I'll make the meme for you <(￣︶￣)>
Simply, replace "huckleberry" w/ "black licorice". 😜
Why, Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just said no more candy.
They love liquorice over there. They have as much liquorice candy as other places have chocolate
Same goes for Sweden and the Netherlands
Good, good. More for me then.
RFK: BLACK LICORICE DISPLEASES THE WORM
Gives me a headache, unfortunately. Then again, I'm over 40.
Add salt
Tastes like salty shit?
Better than black licorice, at least
Yeah, like an usa opinion on food stands for anything
I knew there was a reason everyone ignores the FDA.
I just had some. I'm a risk taker, apparently.
This heinous gunk from the ancient folds of Satan's foreskin is the "candy" Ted Bundy gave to his child victims to make them realise the futility of resisting just to continue living in a world where people happily eat this half-petrified squirrel excreta for pleasure.
NGL, flavoring it with feces'd be a step up. 🤢
