Do you like licorice candy?? / Body whinging

[racjom]

*delurking*

Living in a small European country I haven't tasted licorice candy 
before. American exchange student, who is studying here, seems to be 
missing only this in our stores and as her friend from the States 
came to visit she asked her to bring some. So she brought a pack of 
Twizzlers to share with us yesterday... No offence meant but I think 
my opinion of it is voiced well by what my friend said: Looks like a 
candle and tastes like it, too :) Melanie said it is a bit old, since 
it was bought like two or three weeks ago, but still. 

I can't speak for the whole Slovenian nation, obviously, but only for 
around thirty landscape architecture students, who all agreed that 
it's terrible. We had quite a few laughs over it. 
Exchange student from Sweden loves it and says they have something 
like that there, too. Exchange student from England likes it but he 
agreed sort of with the candle comparison after hearing it :)
Oh well. 

So is it widely popular and liked all over? Do you like it? Are we 
the only ones who don't?

I stopped growing when I was 12 at 154 cm and understand exactly all 
the problems with getting clothing for shorter people- especially 
trousers! I usually have to cut off at least 5 inches of length and 
the waists are almost always too wide for me. 
Not to mention that I have very small feet and getting new shoes is 
definitely the hardest thing for me. It's very hard to find a pair 
I'd like to have and then I'm mostly told they don't have it in my 
size :(

concerned.
