What is your socially unacceptable guilty indulgence? (feddit.uk)

Mine is plain/lightly salted Doritos/tortilla chips dipped/scraped in unsalted butter.

I'm now wondering whether this is a little too specific of a question and I just really needed somewhere to get this off my chest...

I love black licorice. Developed a taste for it as a kid because it was the only candy available at my grandparents house. Now if I’m hanging out with buddies and I don’t want them mooching off my snacks, I’ll bring black licorice. I’ve only met one other person that wanted some and I was happy to share haha

I love the stuff. Wish good quality black licorice was cheaper. I guess you pay for being a niche customer base.

I bought black licorice at the store and the cashier called it disgusting. I don’t care, I’ll keep eating that garbage.

Can I have some?

I love it too, I buy some of the wallaby stuff now and again.

Just don't eat a ton in any given day.

Edit - Oh shit:

In past warnings, the FDA notes: “If you’re 40 or older, eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for at least two weeks could land you in the hospital with an irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia.”
