Horehound candy: Yea or Nay?

[Jbird]

Never tried it, so I bought some the other day. My first impression was messedup0 but I came around to it, kinda like it now

Tastes a bit like flat, sour root beer, but not quite like root beer. My description probably doesn't do it justice.

Now, I have a horehound on my trail...

It's good stuff, but hard to find.

I remember having it as a kid and liking it. It's hard to find now. Although, I suspect that I can order it from Amazon.

Yum!!

I haven't had one in about 10 years.

So gross.

This is new to me. Just candy, or is it sort of a Ricolla thing? ("Soothing to the throat" and all)

 

[gtrjunior]

Never heard of it.

Just candy, though I think Ricolla uses horehound in some of their cough drops, as it's long been thought to ease a sore throat. Also I think a tea can be made from it.

I will try it if I can find a bag.

Horehound for whorehounds.
New marketing campaign.

Candy isn't supposed to be an acquired taste. You guys are fucked up.

How about some Buckleys to go with that?

Never seen it, not even in candy stores. Is it a regional thing?

Chester was eating some in Gunsmoke last week.
