However, I have yet to acquire the taste for it, and am kinda reluctant. It reminds me of Flintstones vitamins, but instead of a candy form of your RDA, it's like a chewable form of Robitussin, without the hallucinatory benefits of over-indulgence. When I used to work at Honolulu Chocolate Company, we would give away samples of everything. Truffles or coffee beans/oreos/pretzels dipped in chococlate. Kinda fancy-fancy. Sometimes people would keep coming back, or just start asking for too much as if the samples were their latest fad diet. To get rid of them we would smile and offer them some brightly coloured "licorice pastels" that looked like longer skinnier tic tacs. The look of joy on their face would slowly turn to disgust as they spit out a gray-ish glob of goo into their hands, while we'd hand them a napkin then watch them leave. Sorta sadist salesfolk.

You LIKE this stuff? It's pretty strong stuff isn't it? Have you ever tried these? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrkisk_Peber Some friends from Finland brought them and we have some video of the taste testing... http://blip.tv/file/1142165 Haha, I didn’t know that this kind of licorice had a following.
