Disgusting Finnish salty licorice - I remember very clearly the first time I sampled it. One of my friends had brought some to the office and gave some to another friend. I remember hearing him complain about it in his cubicle, complaining about how disgusting it was and asking if he could spit it out. I joked "Man, he just gave that to you and you're complaining about it? It can't be that bad - let me try some." I like black licorice - but as soon as I tasted it, I said "Holy crap, you're right - this tastes like ass!" I held out a bit longer, however - the saltiness seemed to come in cycles. It would go away after awhile, then return, go away again, only to return once more. I finally gave up and spit it out, too.
