I loved those!
In high school my fried could not resist trying the Grass Jelly soda. He said it tasted like motor oil.
Yup, they’re around. And you’re wrong. Ginger Altoids are the food of the Gods.
I love those things, and I think you can still find them around. Good stuff.
I once sampled salted licorice. I was able to get it onto my tongue and hold it for a few seconds before the phrase “Satan’s Salted Asshole” worked its way into my mind. I spat it out without taking one bite. The same shop was selling double-salted licorice, which I do believe is what would come out of Satan’s salted asshole.
That country where they have the pink MUSK flavour life-savers?
Hee! I…am not a fan, either. I have a Swedish co-worker who grew up with salty licorice and loves it, but I can’t get behind that. On the other hand, I love love love sweet licorice, which seems itself to be a rare taste to love in the U.S.
Hufu. The healthy alternative for cannibals who want to quit.
Anchovy crunch ice cream.
I was in Japan for work for two weeks in '86. Every day on the way home my two co-workers and I stopped at an ice cream store for a cone. Every day we laughed at the Spinach Ice Cream. Our last day there I bought a small cone. It was pistachio green soft swirl. It did not taste like spinach. It did not taste like ice cream. It tasted like home-made bile. But by Og, I tasted it!
I love ginger Altoids but they’re incredibly hard to find. I knew one convenience store in northern Vermont that carries them so I’d stock up whenever I was in that area. Then a few months back I happened to stop in a local drug store that was about five blocks from where I live and they had a whole rack of them. On sale.
Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray Soda - celery flavored soda. It’s actually not bad. Kind of a mildly sweet carbonated vegetable juice.
What are your thoughts about ammonium chloride and pepper liquorice? I quite like it, but the best thing about them is that you can have a bag in your desk and offer it to unsuspecting colleagues. Lots of interesting facial expressions…
INFADEL…salted and especialy double-salted licorice is the food of the Gods (or at least whatever God takes care of the Netherlands). I sure love my self a good handfull of double-salted licorice (seeing that DZ printed on those delicious black discs makes me squeel with anticipation).
When I was about 15 I went on a school trip to Norway. I bought a big bag of what I thought was sugar-coated sweets. It was actually salted fish-flavoured jellies. No wonder the suicide rate is so high up there.
One Xmas Ben & Jerry came out with “Sugar Plum Ice Cream.” Plum ice cream with a carmel ribbon.
It was their worst selling flavor of all time. I hosted a “B&J Ice Cream Party” for the local children, and even they wouldn’t touch it.
Candy Addict » Candy Review: Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans (just the gross ones) These jelly beans come in earwax, dirt,booger ,worm ,pepper etc, Every year or so I get a bag just for kicks.
Pizza flavored Jelly Bellies.
They live on as Bertie Bott’s “vomit” flavor.
Dubbel Zout is very, very bad salted licorice. But I have had very good salted licorice. Dubbel Zout is compressed into a lozenge - horrible. But pieces of normal licorice with salt on the surface is very nice, IMHO.
Joe
Are these the ones I tried and thought were key lime flavor?

Me too
