I got a sample of the Black Licorice, and knew I would either love it or hate it (Hate black licorice, but love good and plentys - go figure!) Well, the Black Licorice is great! It is sweet and tastes just like Good and Plentys to me! It has a very strong flavor - and a nice throat hit even at 11mg. This is a great flavor for those times when you want a nice, strong satisfying flavor that really wakes you up! Two thumbs up on this one!
