I love licorice so much that i don’t even know how to put into words.
It was my favourite treat when i was a kid, and now 25+ years later it’s still sitting at number 1.
I never got tired of it, and i don’t think i’ll ever be.

[@LG141602]

Tastes like plastic.

[@banjogyro]

Yes

[@boppiellama7868]

Not me reading my licorice package and seeing there isn’t licorice in it

[@Nicolas-cl1gq]

Don't plant liquorice in you garden, i did and it's unpossible to stop it's spreading

[@lfocoap4950ajf8]

Just like mint

[@bienenhs]

why is this so funny

[@imrightbehindyou]

Very unpossible

[@ironiedusort]

@bienenhs Cause it sounds like something out of a horror film. It actually brings to mind The 1958 trailer version of "The Blob".

[@Nicolas-cl1gq]

Well, blob is a cute monster compared to liquorice.
Liquorice makes giant roots underground which you can't see​@@ironiedusort

[@coolnewpants]

I enjoy this video presentation format rather than your regular format. It gets right to the point without all the fluff and filler

[@VirtualR]

Used to love running to the Newsagents on a Saturday morning as a kid and finding that still warm fresh paper bags full of licorice strips, when they stopped making it fresh I lost interest though. Recently the same company found a way to make their licorice stay fresh longer and taste the same as they did originally, so glad to have it back it's like meeting an old friend again.

[@nathanprice7596]

Licorice is so weird. My body thinks it’s poison but I think it’s an acquired taste

[@kittycat8222]

This is me.
My body: this is plastic don’t touch it.

[@livetechsupport909]

The glossy sheen can also be a wax or confectioners glaze.

[@Just4Kixs]

This makes me want to try real licorice now

[@rickyramone1350]

Used to love buying liquorice root from Pontefract market when I was a kid and chewing the goodness out of it

[@itselo_-7914]

“You taste the jeez inside” Ayoo

[@tambob82]

I thought I DESPISED licorice up until I tried it again after about 40 years. I get it now.

[@PatrickM777]

salty licorice is the best, as long as there is real sugar in it too.

[@Fister-kw5un]

My childhood favorite

[@Layla_random_commenter]

It’s weird cause people say strawberry pencils are liquorice wrapped but it’s not liquorice at all it’s red chewy stuff

[@gwillis01]

hello thanks for the video

[@KosTomas]

I love it 😊

[@slenkhar]

1:01 you taste the what ??!!?! did I here that right??!??

[@aleksanderkuncwicz7277]

So it comes from somemkind of wood?

[@curlytoes9319]

Root

[@altitude1039]

OMG
Licorice made from 100% licorice extract . . . Who knew 😀

[@livetechsupport909]

As an American with an interest in accents - could someone please tell me the host's accent? Is it Yorkshire?

[@graphosxp]

Stephanie?

[@wjlim7498]

American liquorice like twizzler is an abomination, the red one taste like chewing on plastic wax strips and has 0% liquorice.

[@trevormacdonald6743]

Twizzlers are trash yeah

[@user-cn6wt1mk5r]

swedish licorice candies are amazing ...

[@Danniesaurus2]

Not true I like twizzlers the twisted candy

[@petrock09]

Come to finland if you want true liquorice

[@cloudson2753]

I thought she said point a fart lmao

[@ColonelBummleigh]

Hehe,point and fart sounds like a fun game.

[@baha8623]

here after aespa

[@poincareconjecture5651]

You sound a little like Arya Stark😊

[@nikolai1714]

24 000 in a day? That is 50 every minute for 8 hours without breaks. The capitalists really knew how to make people work.

[@r-i-v-v]

back then, it was much more than 8hrs per day

[@rcdune7132]

That's because the socialists and the communists don't know how to 💯😂

[@tcideh4929]

Capitalism work or starve.
Any form of socialism, work and starve.
No one had lower working hours on communist farms.

[@livetechsupport909]

and that's why you live in comfort today, because capitalism with sensible regulations will always smoke communism. The 20th century has proven that over and over again. It's sad that you felt the need to bring up capitalism. How old are you?

[@MrScorpyboyz]

I prefer the old format, this presentation format give "How its made" channel vibe but with low quality editing

[@francophone.]

This video feels so rushed

[@PineappleDealer37]

The candy loved by hordes ungrateful toddlers.

[@ColonelBummleigh]

0:51 Hot Italian lady

[@spacemaker8760]
