    I got a monthly food box for my wife a number of years ago. Each month they sent snacks from a different country.

    I can’t remember which country it was from, but one month we got some round, hard candies. It was one of the most unfortunate things I have ever intentionally put into my mouth.

    I don’t even remember the flavor (licorice, maybe?), because my brain attempted to bleach it out.

    Everything else was usually tasty, though.

      My wife looked it up. It’s a hard licorice candy with a salty filling from the Netherlands called Napolean Zwart-Wit (which loosely translates to “tarred scrotum”).

      That may have been one of the Scandinavian countries. Sorry.

      If you have any leftover, plz send.

      Edit: Not our fault this time, but thanks for the tip!
