Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These have been one of my favorite ways to eat black licorice (real licorice!) since I was a child. Our local store began carrying the theater boxes at a good price recently and I was excited to have easy access to them. But the pink ones are foul. I'm assuming that it has to do with the food coloring used, as the color coatings don't have any flavor. The candy coating offers a nice textural contrast to the stiff wheat based licorice of the snap, but no additional flavor. But after two pink snaps, my tongue starts to burn. Candy should not be painful to eat. So any package that I purchase means that I have to immediately sort out the pink. So I'm throwing away 25% of any package I purchase, making them that much more expensive for what I can eat, and making me more reluctant to purchase them. If American Licorice would simply use a different red coloring for the pink, I'd be purchasing these constantly. (and whatever red or concentration of red that they use in the orange does NOT cause the same problems).
so while Snaps as a whole would be all 5 stars, since I have to discard one quarter of any quantity, the rating goes down to 3 stars - which hurts me almost as much as the pink ones hurt my tongue.
