Black Crows memories... Mason's Black
Crows were a favorite of mine from the very beginning. My first
memory of eating them was going to the movies with my parents on
Friday nights. Dad would buy a box of Black Crows for me, popcorn
for him, and a coke for Mom. (They'd share with me, of course).
I loved those Crows so much
that I'd make them last and last throughout the double features,
news reel and cartoons, taking little bites at a time or just
sucking on them to enjoy the wonderful flavor. When I got home from
the movies, I'd run to a mirror and open my mouth to make sure I had
that tell-tale black tongue from the licorice. Funny thing, but my little
friends did the same thing, too. If they were lucky enough to have a
few cents to buy some Crows, they'd greet me by opening their mouths
and sticking out their tongues. I did the same thing, too.
Later on in years, when I was
expecting my daughter, I craved those Crows. Every time I found
boxes for sale, I'd buy at least two or three. I still made them
last and last. My husband said I was a squirrel because I'd put the
boxes away and would only get a few out at a time to enjoy. My daughter is a licorice fan
now, too. she has her own children, and of course they love licorice
as well. One day recently, we all enjoyed some Crows. It was right
down memory lane. Guess what we did?... Stuck out our tongues to
compare whose was the blackest.... It was great! ~ Sherry from

As a young boy (I have grown to 76 years young) I recall the times my dad drove me to the movies
every Saturday afternoon and he never came in to see a show. The problem was not what was playing but what the candy counter they had on
hand that day.
My dad had to come in the show and buy me my candy and later on as I got older I began to
understand why he came in with me. Why not give me the money for the ticket and candy? No way, you see he wanted to buy me my BLACK CROWS
or I wouldn't go in to see the show without that candy and also my dad wanted a box or two for himself. ~ Alphonse from Florida
