Cachou Lajaunie - Hard Licorice Candies From France, 6 Tins 6x0.25oz

I guess I am just old. I remember SenSens (somebody PLEASE make them again!) and this type of weird little mouth mint. These give you a ton of flavor, whether you like that flavor or not, withOUT the tons of sugar, bulk, chewing, and all that today's candies offer, and seem to need to offer, for customer satisfaction. This is from an era before everything had a huge insulin response, before high fructose corn syrup, before constant all-day eating, before the spate of dietary-induced illnesses that plague our society. Just a very strong chip of flavor to busy the mouth and the senses. A nice little something when riding the bus, reading a book, relaxing watching TV, without stuffing your face with food food food.

I was expecting Licorice taste but could not find any, since they are not returnable i am throwing them out.

These are easy to carry. Very tiny tidbits of taste. And they last for about five minutes. And they taste good. A unusual flavor. Licorice and mint together. But I like them a lot.

I was born and raised in France, Where the Cachou Lajaunie is very common and appreciated by those who have the taste for it. Away from France for more than 40 years, I had forgotten about it. and never expected to find it in the US, until I found it on Amazon. I got it for me and my wife, who is also born in France. We found it unchanged from what we remember from long ago. So it was a nostalgic experience to taste them again. The taste has not changed at all and the price is right. It is kind of addictive if you like it.

The flavor is really strong and not sweet. Like a taste of strong, bitter coffee and licorice.

It's hard to describe the intense flavor of these tiny black mints. Minty, licoricey, kinda bitter. Reminds me of tobacco and black coffee, although it doesn't actually taste like either one. At first, I hated it. But I'd purchased six of them and I loved the little yellow tins, so I kept eating them, hoping they'd be an acquired taste. It worked - now I love them. They turn your tongue black, stand up against the strongest garlic breath, and are basically an appetite suppressant due to the strong flavor.

I'm not really a fan of these candies. I like licorice, and I like mint, but I can't really say I care much for minty licorice. But my miniature mare LOVES them. When she hears the rattle of the tin her eyes go wide and she starts nosing me until I give her one. I just have to be careful she doesn't bite my hand off in her excitement.The best part is the tin is so small I can carry these around with me all the time when I'm out there so I've always got a treat for her.
