Kookaburra Licorice
I see kids eating Twizzlers at the movies and I'm like "Why, kids, why? Why are you eating those ribbed wax sticks?"
Licorice is an acquired taste, I think.
That's my polite way of saying I think it's super gross.
Under most circumstances, any friend of yours who is telling you they'd rather eat licorice than Sour Patch Kids or jelly beans is a fucking liar. (Unless, of course, they're some Depression-era elderly person. It's okay to like licorice back in old timey times when licorice could be bought at a penny candy store. That licorice was hard-earned and has cachet). This is the only possible exception.
So when our PA Kevin bought Kookaburra strawberry licorice for our writers pantry, I was like "You have to be kidding me, Kevin. Where are the non-pareils (a favorite) or chocolate covered raisins (another favorite)?" Kevin was all "uhhh maybe other people will like it I don't just do all the shopping for you." I was so mad.
Then I got bored later and ate one.
Oh my god, you guys. They are so amazing, we can't like, have them anymore at work, because there is no such thing as moderation anymore. All of a sudden you're like "oh god we have Kookaburra, I have to eat the entire container before Lee or Gene get to them aaaaahhhhh!!!!"
Way better than Sour Patch Kids, by the way. The only way to describe them is to think of the awesomest strawberry fruit roll up you've ever eaten melted and congealed into a little flavor log. Okay that sounds disgusting. Just try these things. Apparently they are Australian or something and have a cute little folksy backstory, but honestly, I didn't even finish reading it because the product is so good.
Good for: any human, pregnant women with cravings, I bet.
Price: $4.99 for a tub
available at Trader Joes or at www.kookaburralicorice.com
