I tried a piece of salted licorice earlier this year, in fact, and it was pretty much the most terrible thing ever, EVAR, in the history of everything.

Salt licorice wouldn't be so bad if it were normal, everyday sodium-chloride table salt. But no, it's salmiak or salammoniac, better known as ammonium chloride. It gives the candy a "bright", somewhat salty flavor which I find wastes otherwise perfectly good licorice.
 

John:

You'll be happy to know that this particular pack of Monkeyjunglesaltlicorice was much, much fresher than the last piece I had when Seth brought it back from Sweden. It was so fresh that the first instant of tast that registered was so intense, shocking, and foul that I actually cried out a little.

In addition, another co-worker tried a piece, also cried out in shock and surprise, turned red, then had to leave the building to recover with a cup of coffee. He said he'd be alright in a few days.
 

Man, I hate that stuff. But I AM the stronger for it, you're right about that.

Sweet Jesus, does the USDA, DEA, State Department and Homeland Security know that you are transporting that stuff across international and interstate lines? Look, people bring me poop, it's part of my job, and *this* stuff still grosses me out three years after I tried it. Shame, shame is what you should feel.
 

Well, im in 9th grade and gave some to most of my friends the whole day.
they were making the most priceless faces and their expression were too funny.
i tried some when i fist got it and almost thought my sister and i would throw up. But when i actually stuck it in my mouth, it kind of tastes a little better.

In the end, i'm glad i finally had the guts to order it online.
