| doubtful- except in foriegner markets. Koreans hate it. I remember bring it to the first day of school here once and giving it to all the kindergartners. I have NEVER seen 6 year olds react negatively to candy, but my god they were spitting it out and yelling. One kid puked. I imagine its the flip-mode of bondeggi. |

| Yes, the Koreans mostly hate it. Had some hard black buttons sent from PA. The Korean Teachers thought that I had poisoned them. Hey, more for me! |

I brought a big tub of the red stuff when I first came here. I gave it to the kids in my school after class and they all spit it out in the stairwell.
Ahh... fond memory. |

| I gave some black licorice to some of my students and they all said it tasted like medicine. Licorice (the herb) is commonly used in Korean herbal medicine. |
