Poll of the Day > I bought a bag of black licorice and they are shaped like little dogs

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is that something that people like? Eating candy that is shaped like dogs? I don't get it.

Also they are delicious

disgusting

My wife's grandparents are from Ireland, and they have little black licorice chews in their house. Her grandfather calls them "n***** babies" and every time I hear it, it makes me very uncomfortable, but I love black licorice and usually just awkwardly agree to take some. He's a nice guy and I've never heard him say anything remotely racist (outside of that, of course).

My wife says that's just what they call them in Ireland. Maybe not everywhere, and probably less and less among younger generations, but apparently that's a thing.

Why didn't you drop the black licorice bomb on me sooner

Sometimes candy needs to taste like medicine

Chinese people.

It's strange how things like licorice and cilantro are either liked or disliked by people with no in-between.

Your should get the Dutch licorice that's really salty and filled with ammonia

Once you power through the initial unpleasant taste it's pretty good

Black licorice is delicious, everyone else is crazy.
