People love complaining, right? Complain about everything (life, health, bad luck, random shit etc)

I didn't see any, but I'm in the southwest.

"You're exactly like this guy I used to be friends with, except not racist!"

Honesty is for chumps.

I'm honest with those who are honest with me. If I detect a whiff of hypocrisy, you better believe I'll feed bullshit. I learned from childhood too much honesty will fuck your life up.

Yeah. I wish I would have learned that lesson earlier in life. Too much honesty made me very unpopular in America, but it especially hurt me in Japan.

Most people don't want to hear anything about your life other than "I'm fine" and they especially don't want you talking about yourself. Autistics (DHI posters) struggle to understand.

I've been a bit miffed lately. I had a large stockpile of licorice that's been running dry. To my absolute dismay, Toms changed their Heksehyl a bit.

These fuckers:

SpoilerShow

A licorice pipe filled with soft salmiak (ammoniumchloride).
Both components remain the same but the ratio is different. Instead of 56% filling they now have 48% filling.
So instead of the salty salmiak flavour being dominant and slowly giving way to licorice its now the other way around and never hits that salty salmiak peak.

There's such a thing as a licorice equator. Runs from Frankfurt am Main diagonally towards Berlin. That's the faggot version. Really just means that anyone south of that doesn't like licorice at all.

The true licorice equator runs south of Hamburg. Because below that all you get is pussy shit. The super sweet stuff exclusively.
Up here and in Scandinavia (also the Netherlands) we get the good shit. Salty, strong stuff pregnant women and children aren't even allowed to eat.

But the good old Heksehyl (Witch Howl) were a nice, casual variety.
So I went looking. Turns out you can get long, thicker cables of them. That should sort out the ratio. But here comes the maddening part:
They also make the same kind of product, except it's called Häxvral (Witch "Scream" or veru loud "Yell") and its absolutely impossible to find out what that stuff is about. Not even Toms webpage, which is supremely unhelpful anyway, knows what the fuck is up with that.


Now, I'm sure someone reading this is going to think the obvious: "Heksehyl" is Danish, "Häxvral" is just the Swedish name.
Kinda, but not really.
There's no good reason why they wouldn't just be called "Häxhyl" in Swedish. Likewise, "Häxvrål" would be the more usual form to use if you insist on "scream" instead of "howl".

But none of that matters because the same fucking shop that offers Heksehyl by Toms also offers Häxvral by Toms and makes a distinct difference about them but doesn't go into specifics as to what is different.

Sounds like, and reads from the ingredients, as if they offer more salkiak filling, but that also could just be an outdated ingredient list, as the old Heksehyl used to be very similar.


I think I'll just have to order a 3 fucking Kilo box of them to find out. It's driving me mad and took all last and most of this evening.

Face it, guys: licorice is ruined.
But imports might really be your solution. Even the same brand can have different ratios in different countries (though that mostly boils down to Eastern Europe getting filthy peasant shit).

[Uguuboi]

You krautniggas have some weird licorice. I just get the hollow tunes. Turkish Delight is about a exotic as I get.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

I bet your licorice has never even met real licorice.
