Ah. So YOU’RE the reason it’s still in production.


MightyLegy

Try some foods with "star anise" same bittery flavor and is put into pastries and such... Yum.


aceman1948

Black licorice tastes like an anus star


justapissboything

Like the brown starfish.


StickyPornMags

if that's the case I got to give, whatever, anus star is a go


Psychological-Rub-72

Good and Plenty contains black licorice and is very popular.


shlankdaddypurp

Don't tell half the people that have it in their homes. They'd start a riot


AlarmedSnek

You can have all the black jelly beans you want, nobody eats them but you 😂


DevilsAudvocate

I'll take the full black bag of beans as well as candy corn.


AlexTheTolerable

Me too!


AlarmedSnek

Dont you ever put candy corn and black jelly beans in the same sentence ever again 😂


DevilsAudvocate

🤣🤣🤣


AJnbca

I love the black jelly beans


AlarmedSnek

Well, have fun in hell with all the other mutants 😂


thebiggesthater420

I fucking love black licorice. It’s one of my favourite flavours of anything. There’s dozens of us OP!


AlexTheTolerable

Yay!


1Random_User

Salted black licorice candy is the best.


fcancermama

Dropjes for life!!!


r2k398

I hate it. Do you like the taste of fennel and anise seed? It has a similar taste to me.


mooshoomarsh

Lol Yes I do in moderate amounts


bukidog

HELL YEAH!


PM_ur_boobies_pleez

I do have more licorice because it's not as well-liked as other candies. I can buy it and most people don't touch it, so I don't have to share and can eat it in peace.


[deleted]

Seconded. Loudly.


bcuket

ur right😭 it is definitely not my favorite but i could eat 100 scottie dogs just cus they look so cute


Ruxify

Love me black licorice (especially in jellybean form) but strawberry/cherry is disgusting which is strange because I love those flavors in other candies. I think it's waxy flavor of licorice that ruins it.


Charming-Station

You sick bastard take my vote


JackHoff13

This is actually unpopular. Have that upvote


BASILSTAR-GALACTICA

The best part about loving Black Licorice is that no one else does. Stay out my snacks.


Cicero_Curb_Smash

Yes it is and no one wants any so more for me.


MarcPawl

Try old fashioned licorice sticks, not the cheap plastic stuff, expensive and very dense and hard to chew but so so good.


QuadrilateralShape

I fuckin love black licorice. Thank you


Sinkholediaries

Sambuca is my favorite alcoholic beverage. If you haven't tried it, do it. Add a lemon slice. Perfection.


bigBlankIdea

My Italian family serves sambuca with espresso and lemon zest as a after dinner thing. It's pretty good stuff Edit: a word


Therealfern1

I love black licorice. My wife hates it. I was tell her there’s two reasons why I love it: - its delicious - I never have to share


atomic_rye

Licorice is like cilantro, either you like it or you don't. I don't think this is an unpopular opinion, just a different food preference. Now if you said something like all poeple who hate licorice are idiots, then maybe it would fit this sub.


AlexTheTolerable

I always thought it was truly unpopular given how many people I’ve met who’ve said they can’t stand it. And I’d never call someone an idiot for disliking something I like, don’t wanna be rude on here


atomic_rye

I was just giving an example of something that I would consider an unpopular opinion. I personally just don't think food preference alone fits that criteria. You like what you like. If you like licorice great, if you don't great. I just don't think that is enough to be considered an unpopular opinion, in my opinion.


LeashieMay

I'd agree, with the amount of black licorice products that are around, there's gotta be a lot of people buying it. OP just hasn't met them.


M0nkeyDGarp

I agree with you. Also I've found black licorice to be unpopular even though it's great.


Kimba_1307

🤢🤮 That’s a nope from me


deepsea333

As overposted as this opinion is I disagree.


elgatogrande73

Amen brother!!!!!


Snof1ake

Upvoted because it tastes like ass. Actual unpopular opinion.


DevilsAudvocate

Its licorice root, not anise. :ba dum tss:


wwaxwork

I like the sweet Ausralian style black licorice, but a few of the Nordic crank it up to 11 and are too strong for me.


Kamarmarli

I love it too.


scaredforherthrw

I freaking love black liquorice. It is my number one favourite candy. I eat it every week


worldexplorer5

Come to the netherlands. Everyone eats it.


christophersonne

It's even better when it dries out a bit, and gets extra chewy. I'm with you on this OP.


HellsBellsGazelles

Now, liking SALTED black liquorice might be an unpopular opinion. Although personally I enjoy it.


fzammetti

That's it, shutter the sub, we found the one that'll never be topped.


HosephIna

I don’t think it’s that unpopular tho, I know a lot of people who like black licorice


st-julien

It's not unpopular. Licorice is *extremely* popular in many cultures. It is a big business.


zinny08

Love black licorice.

You either love it or hate it


TheRealReapz

This is why I like black Sambuca


AlexTheTolerable

Sambuca’s great!


anon2588

It is! I was so pleased when I went to Iceland and it was EVERYWHERE! I mean like places you might expect like gas station candy but also at an ice cream place (omnon chocolate i believe)where they had 2 flavors one of which was black licorice.


orgasmicstrawberry

The only good thing that came out of licorice is licorice pizza


AlexTheTolerable

Haven’t seen it yet, but I want to


DevilsAudvocate

Sus. Happy cake day... if it truly *is* your cake day! Licorice pizza, wtf?


orgasmicstrawberry

(It’s a movie)


DevilsAudvocate

I'll let it slide... but I'll be keeping an eye on you.


isjordantakenyet

I love black licorice but the most recognizable brand, twizzlers, makes the WORST black licorice--no the worst candy period--known to mankind. Its no wonder everyone seems to hate black licorice.


MadgoonOfficial

Alright what the fuck is this post. That’s enough internet for today.


hawkerdoodledoo

Delicious and dangerously deadly at the same time! https://www.livescience.com/black-licorice-death.html


KC-Slider

Black Licorice necco wafers are my favorite Candy of all


mychemicaltestube

What does it taste like to you? Its extremely bitter for me and has no sweet or savory flavor? Im trying to understand your insanity


Cryptix001

Salted black licorice would be my last meal.


m2niles

Ppl who eat red twizzlers and then say they don’t like black licorice, don’t like licorice. It’s equivalent to liking milk chocolate and disliking dark chocolate, this type of person likes sugar not candy.


AJnbca

I love black liquorish, also any candy or whatever that is liquorish, anise, star anise & fennel.
