I like black licorice. Well, the real stuff anyways. That synthetic flavor is terrible. The meme made me look up the real FDA warning lol

Eating large amounts of black licorice, particularly for those over 40, can pose health risks. Specifically, eating two ounces or more daily for at least two weeks can lead to serious health problems, including irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia), high blood pressure, and even congestive heart failure. This is due to the presence of glycyrrhizin, a compound in licorice root, which can cause potassium levels in the body to drop.

So, the problem is for specific persons with already low potassium and high sodium in their systems, especially those people over 40, by eating at least 2 ounces of black licorice every day for at least two weeks

I like black licorice, but there's no way I would eat it daily for at least two weeks. It's just an occasional palate cleanser kind of thing.

2 ounces are about 56 gram. I love licorice, but eating that much every single day is a bit extreme.

I eat like, 300 grams at a time? But also not daily, it's just what the size of the packet is.

Palate cleanser. For when you dont want the pesky sensation of happiness. It'll cleanse that right out.

If you want the cleansing to be thorough, try adding about 2% of Ammonium chloride to your Licorice.
