"Man dies from eating bags of black licorice".
How pointless. I mean, it would be something glorious to go out on overindulgence in Baby Ruth bars or Milky Ways or (drool!) pecan turtles, but black licorice? Just sad. RIP, old fellow.

It's a good think I loathe licorice. BLEAH!
ReplyDeleteI pick through my jelly beans, in a reverse panning-for-gold operation.
ReplyDeleteKinda like this, JeffS?
The Two Ronnies - Sweet Shop
Never was a fan of black licorice.
ReplyDeleteRed vines, on the other hand... one job I had at school was at nights, and I'd get a package of Red Vines from the vending machine every night. One day I looked into the toilet bowl and saw red...
After a moment's panic, decided to quit the Red Vines for a few days and see what happened. Sure enough, back to normal. I assume that the dye used is not entirely broken down by the digestive tract.
Yeah, kinda like that, Mike ..... :D
ReplyDeleteSteve, try spiking the party punch bowl with a medical dye! He he he he he!
Just don't have a reputation as a practical joker .....
Mmmm, Milky Way. Yes, Red Vines are far superior to black licorice. As a kid I loved walking down to the candy shop at the Lake Arrowhead Village and getting fresh soft red licorice.
ReplyDeleteNever was a fan of licorice of any kind. I don't eat candy of any kind these days, but if I wanted to die of overindulgence in candy, it would probably have to be Snickers bars. Back when I didn't have to concern myself about too much sugar, there wouldn't be very many days without a Snickers bar. The times I'd take my lunch to work, there'd be a Snickers bar packed for dessert, or a break time snack.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I was one of those weirdos who like frozen Snickers, too. Especially on a hot summer day.
I'll join you in the weirdo club because I very much enjoy frozen candies. Chocolates like Snickers, Heath bars, Dove (especially the dark with nuts. I enjoy frozen Zero bars too.
DeletePaco, I wish there were Baby Ruth bars in this area. I was just looking for one. Please have one (at least) for me. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI like licorice, black or red. Mom always had Bridge Mix. Now, about the only place you can find it is at a Cracker Barrel Restaurant's gift shop.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I'm afraid they're off my diet, but I do love them.
