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.
