Licorice Snaps memories... 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.

Oh
wow, the memories. Licorice snaps are the first candy I remember
eating. My dad is an avid hunter and fisherman, not too abnormal in
South Dakota. I remember going to the store with my dad before a
fishing outing to get treats. I always got A&W root beer and licorice
snaps. I remember one of the reasons I really thought they were "cool"
is you could put like 5 in your mouth and just suck on them, then chew em up all soft and mushy, then when you would spit, it was this black
brownish color. For some reason, as a kid I thought spitting black was
really neat.
I hadn't seen snaps
for many years and one day I was in the gas station near my house and
they had bags of them on the shelf. I was with my girlfriend, and I
honestly think I shrieked like a little kid. I just said SNAPS!!! I
bought every bag they had, I think it cost me like $30. I sat on the
sofa and ate snaps grinning like the Cheshire cat. I ate them till I
had a stomach ache... just like a little kid. ~ Bill from South Dakota
