just a horrible taste. Very suspicious of the positive reviews.  It comes in a very cheap plastic package. Makes me wonder how fresh it could be.  Throwing product out. Not a good taste at all and that's an understatement. I do not believe any of the reviews that say great taste. Does not taste like licorice at all. Just really horrible. I love all candy too.  Ingredients six items corn syrup, Wheat flour, citric acid, Artificial flavor and red 40!! Ingredients do not lie. Amazon should stop selling this item
