> I feel the same about Liquorice

I was starting to get worried that I was the only one. There should be laws prohibiting the placement of the word candy anywhere near the word liquorice. It's the worst form of false advertisement I've come across. Candy is supposed to taste good!

That childhood trauma is still with me to this day. I feel disgust and anger at the mention of liquorice.

That every bag of jelly beans includes liquorice is really a travesty.

It's the culinary equivalent of bleach and ammonia Tide pods.

Black licorice is one of those foods that is polarizing. People either absolutely love it or think it’s vile and shouldn’t be legal. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered someone who is ambivalent about it.
