Licorice is fun!

Licorice lovers all over the world will tell you that what most people call licorice today technically isn't licorice at all. What these delicious licorice treats are made of also varies depending on which country you live in.

Licorice comes in so many shapes, sizes and textures. Dutch, Finnish, Australian; licorice ropes, twists, coins and novelty shapes like dogs, cats and pretzels - where do you even start? Then there's black licorice, salty and licorice. What's the difference? Is red licorice even really "licorice" at all?
