Licorice Lovers, Have You Tried Wiley Wallaby Brand Yet?
Aussie style licorice (Wallaby or any other brand) is not real licorice, IMO. It’s like licorice for people who don’t like licorice. Not bad, just not licorice.

I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888

You got that right, so good.
I like most types of licorice, which by the way is black, the other colors and flavors is just candy NOT licorice. A few year ago, spent an hour in the Licorice International store in Lincoln Ne. Sampled all different types from around the world. Partial to the Scandinavian brands. Think I walked out of the store with $40 of licorice. Don't much care for the real salty versions.

Sure, and Beeman’s Pepsin Gum, by the same company.

OK, I get it, real licorice is made from the licorice root. Real or not, red “licorice” has been so named throughout my considerably long life.

Wow, licorice ice cream. I haven't seen that since baskin robbins in the 70's (I think?). That and daiquiri ice cream.

I think licorice, to me, is an acquired taste for which I've never really come to appreciate. I'll eat it if presented but not something I would go out and buy. It's interesting that it's added to smoking products.

I remember going to Baskin Robins as a kid and seeing the licorice flavored ice cream. It was black as pitch.

Remember Matterhorn's and baskin robbins? Imagine a licorice Matterhorn. Smile

Black only. There really isn't any other licorice! It is pretty good.
