I don't care what country you hail from, what ethnicity you are, what you believe in or anything of that sort...everyone knows that black licorice, and black licorice flavored things, is the worst kind of candy out there. It has a taste that can't quite be put into words, but if I had to try, it would be something like "bleeghh." How could such a licorice be sold in stores? My theory is that it's not sold at all; black licorice is just red licorice gone bad. Instead of taking it off the shelves, candyshop owners just leave it there and get lucky when the few people in the world that eat black licorice decide to buy some.
Maybe you need to be 65 years old or older to enjoy black licorice, because it seems like a lot of older generations don't seem to mind. Any 65 year old readers out there care to comment? Back in their day though, you had to walk 15 miles, uphill, in the blizzarding snow if you wanted to go to the candy store; any candy was probably worth it.
It's just slightly annoying.
