The licorice Conundrum

While living in Copenhagen,

I quickly found out that Danish people love licorice.

Me? Not so much. 

​

​

They wouldn’t stop talking about it. Or eating it.

Every day, all the time.

I didn’t understand. I couldn’t comprehend.

​

​

But it made me think.

How could something, so weird, so different,

so polarizing, be so loved?

​

So, I asked some of them? Why?

And they all said, “because it tastes good!”.

There had to be something deeper, I thought...

Because…let’s be real, Licorice just isn’t that good.

​

So the deeper I dug in, the more I realised

it wasn't the licorice at all.

​

Licorice reminded them of their past.

Licorice reminded them of home.

​

Bright summer days as a kid in the country,

dark winters huddled around the fire.

​

It reminded them of their grandparents.

Or that time at the movies with their first love,

​

Eating licorice was reminding them to

hold on to the memories & experiences that matter.

​

And that's why the people who like licorice,

really like licorice.
