Licorice has two C's in it. The first C is pronounced with a hard K sound and the second C has an SH sound.
How does that even make sense? Now I'm no English major . . . no wait, I was, but that's beside the point. I really didn't pay that much attention in school anyway, but shouldn't the silent E change the I instead of the C?
I pity those people who have to learn English as a second language.

The problem is, it's hard to find soft licorice rope. Even fresh from the bag. I couldn't count how many times I've been in a store squeezing licorice bags like Charmin, all to no avail.
Nibs are almost always soft and perfect, but they're small and you have to put your hand into the bag repeatedly. If you're reading a book while eating licorice that can be distracting.
I found a bag of Nibs licorice rope a couple years ago and it was better than winning the lottery. Of course, now I don't remember which store I found the Nibs licorice rope in.
I'm being punished for something. Must be. Stupid karma.
Various kinds of licorice . . . eh.
