Licorice is like Coffee, Beer, Chocolate... it comes in enough flavors (salt, sweet, smoky, creamy), styles, sizes and forms that most people if they were open minded and wanted to explore could find one that works for them.

I have fond memories of when  “Baskin-Robbins made a black licorice ice cream” as well...

“a co-worker here brought some small black candies from his home in Sweden. I can’t remember the name of them for the life of me, but they were like menthol tasting licorice. Amazing. Loved them.”

I think she is still in it because if she shows at all in the primaries she has a strong shot at the VP slot on the ticket, being a woman from the midwest wher the DNC need to carry WI and MI she has a very strong appeal in parts of those states

lucky me I voted in that BS Billion Dollar School Bond at the start of Nov and my registration was valid...

Michigan is as ‘at will’ state so they can fire her... unless she has a union (side note there is a local coffee workers union in south east Michigan).

1986/87 I was in 9th grade, there was a local video game arcade that we could walk to at lunch and they had a vending machine where everything was .25.

What is the best book you had to read in/for school?

Many superhero films are “western and action movies”.. it seems like they are moving in to other parts of the genre sphere...sci fi (GoG), fantasy (Dr Strange), horror (new Mutants), war, romance, comedy, crime (Antman).. films at this point. I don’t think they will fully go away, Action films and even Westerns are…

Serenity isn’t a ‘good’ movie, but I totally agree that it has the WTF factor, and watching it I was never bored. Being bored is the true mark of a bad/crap film.

it might be the best ‘bad’ film of 2019... if you haven’t checked it out the 2018 flop Mortal Engines was also a good looking romp that wasn’t ‘good’

it wasn’t just he FBI and the Media.. but the International Olympic Committee needed someone to focus on so that they could salvage the games.
