Black licorice.
I firmly believe candy should be sweet; not bitter.
Bitter? You must have had some weird fake crap. I've never had any liquorice that bitter, and I'm Swedish and love liquorice.
If we had pearls here in Scandinavia we'd all be clutching them right now.
Surely you looted some pearls back in the 700's from innocent townsfolk.
And even if it’s not sweet, it can at least be tangy, sour, or tart.
Black licorice just taste like fucking death
It is evidence of how bad life used to be. If that shit was the treat, what was normal food like?!
Ah, yes, the world before refined sugar, lol
There's fake black licorice, and there's the real stuff. Two very different experiences!
Both trash.
I'm upvoting you not because I agree (I don't, I love black licorice), but because you touch on a good point that if someone doesn't like black licorice, they're probably not going to like any black licorice regardless of quality. Maybe there's some exceptions out there that like bougie black licorice and not the basic twizzlers stuff, but anecdotally I've tried introducing the fancier brands to a few friends who don't like black licorice, and not one has given a single fuck.
Came here to say this and saw this comment.
This is the correct answer.
