When I was a child in Salt Lake City, I loved licorice, especially Licorice Snaps. It was a real treat to buy a box of Snaps. They were 2 cents back then. In our neighborhood it was almost required to save the pink ones to eat last. To us, the pink ones had an ever so slight soapy flavor and we felt that it was a must to eat those last. Just as you washed off the dishes after a meal, you ate the pink ones to clean your mouth. Even as an adult, I still save the pink ones and eat them last. ~ Kathy from Texas
