      Ammonium chloride covered black licorice is better than sugar coated high-fructose corn syrup.

      Salty licorice is so delicious. Last time I hit up the international store I found smoked salted licorice and it basically turbo crack to me. The only reason I haven’t rushed back and cleared the shelf is it’s like $10 a 120 g bag.

      To add more evidence: Japan is not in the list and people here find licorice disgusting. You cannot find it anywhere except at ikea which is far away from here. And even there they only have one type which is okayish at best. PLZ SEND HELP!

        Ha, my friend is half-Finnish and would go back to see her family. She’d always give me some salty black licorice as most people here don’t care for it. I never used to, but my tastebuds changed at some point (or, I guess, I only like the version from the Nordics; I haven’t had the versions from the US in decades so I can’t compare those).
