Taste the Black Rainbow

Today at the grocery I noticed a black box of liquorice skittles and I bought them out of curiosity. I looked around on the web for more information and only found a mention in NTK about a sighting in the UK a few months ago. A veritable black rainbow of taste sensations. :)

• green — aniseed. They taste much like the Springerle cookies my mom used to make at christmas every year. Yummy.
• yellow — vanilla. A nice combination of vanilla flavour and liquorice.
• white — mint. A bit too minty for my taste.
• red — spice. I think it's cinnamon but it burns a little on the tongue.
• black — liquorice. Very strong liquorice flavour.

They're a nice change of pace but the original skittles and the sour skittles are much better.
