My LicoriceExperiences
When I was a child, LicoriceFlavors were just about my favorite thing. Even today, BlackJellyBeans are the only ones that I'll eat. When creating this lens, I couldn't help but reminisce about the candy that I've know.Almost all of my candytimes were part of the movie going experience. I couldn't resist trying everything I could find, perhaps my worst experience was Juju B's. I don't know if they were considered licorices or not, but you'd be eating them and then all of a sudden, you'd get a taste of burnt tires in July. I swore off those in a hurry.
My BlackLicoriceDelights were found in Chuckles, GoodnPlenty, Twizzlers, RedLaces, JuicyFruits, Nibs, Jellybeans and BlackCrows. But the moment of triumph was always when my Dad would come home with my treasured dream: licoricebutter mints. Warm lingering MeltySoftLicorice sensations filling me to elation. These buttermints are part of my reason for making this lens.
Best feeling of achievement as a child - when my tongue blackened dark as coal and I would show my mom & pretend I was dying. Aren't kids great?
Thanks so Much For Stopping By!!!!!!
