Can you imagine there was once a time on this planet where there was so little flavor in anything, that someone invented this bitter abomination and called it "candy", and everyone agreed...

I used to hate licorice but when I was probably around 12 or 11. One day I went to my dad's friend's office and he had these strange soft licorice candies and when I unwrapped one and took a bite, it was like taking a bite out of the greatest candy.

You have to grow up with it probably. I grew up with all kinds of black licorice and I think it tastes amazing. It gives you that mouth watering feeling that umami/meat flavor does, while being sweet and sometimes salty. So its savory, sweet and salty.

I read something that linked the dislike of licorice to the dislike of artificial sweeteners. Licorice is known to have compounds much sweeter than sugar, so maybe oversensitivity to sweetness is to blame at least in some cases

I ruined anything liquorice/aniseed for myself in university by going out and drinking 20 shots a night of sambuca when I was out on the piss. The smell of anything aniseed makes my stomach turn now.

We ate licorice root as a snack in elementary, nobody "invented" this flavor. Fennel and star anise tastes like licorice too. It's a completely natural thing

it raises blood pressure, if eaten in large amounts it can cause all sorts of circulatory issues in people with pre-existing conditions, but most people without hypertension can safely consume licorice

Black licorice was the source of my first ever existential crisis. I've hated it ever since I first tried it, until one day when I grew from child to manchild, I tasted it to find that I liked it.

I love liqorice. Unfortunately, it can cause hypertension due to depleting potassium, so I eat it sparingly.
I prefer english liqorice, and sweet finnish liqorice. Never really enjoy salmiak/salty liqorice.

The trick with liquorice is moderation.
Lotta young people have grown up thinking candy must be eaten en heaping mouthfuls.

liquorice is as much about savouring the aftertaste, letting the tastebuds reset, some might say half the enjoyment is NOT eating it.

Personally i thing salmiakki and other strong liquorice's succes relies on cold and damp nations.

[Anonymous No.12771145]

I actually do think about that a lot. The complexity of molasses in comparison to corn syrup or sugar is definitely lost for a child's pallette, but sweeteners like molasses and saccharine were popular in a time where the pure cocaine that is modern sweets was less abundant. Ironically, actual cocaine was on the market, too. But, notwithstanding, sweetness is sweetness regardless of superlative stimuli; you really don't think about it unless there's a market that illustrates that discrepancy, right?

this one time i was doing a cardiology rotation in iceland, and we had an adult female (late 20s) who kept coming in with transient hypertension which wasn't responding to the first line volume depletion therapies (protocol at the time there was ace/arb, thiazides, beta-blockers). at one point we suspected malignant hypertension and admitted her, started her on treatment but her bp remained high. we discovered that her boyfriend had been bringing her a pound (almost half a kilo) of licorice to snack on each day, and she was a constant eater of this stuff. not a particularly fat girl or anything. just an interesting phenomenon of what the licorice candy is capable of in an otherwise healthy young adult.
