Licorice, like all of our vintage candy, has been around for a long time. Hence, the word “vintage” candy. However, Licorice has been around a lot longer than you might guess.

Licorice, a favorite among movie- goers, was found (in licorice root form) in King Tut’s tomb. It was used as a cure-all for everything from curing “thirst and hunger” to curing kidney disorders. And just about everything in between, including stomach problems and coughs. Licorice in root form, was used during the middle ages to help with food poisoning, and was so popular in 1305 that it was taxed in England to help repair the London Bridge!

Our company offers much more than just licorice. We offer nostalgia and fun in over 40 varieties. Think about that the next time you want to throw a 50’s sock hop. What better way to have a conversation started than “Do you remember…?”
