Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

"Salted" liquorice isn't actually salted. It's far worse than that (from some perspectives, NOT MINE!).
It's also my absolute favourite candy on the face of the planet, especially the "doppel zoot" stuff that is further coated with the crystals of "salt".
It's actually...
ammonium chlorideAnd somehow, ammonium chloride (salmiak) is less unhealthy than the licorice root extract which is the staple of sweet (european, as opposed to that US stuff that isn't licorice at all) licorice.
Yeah, eating too much liquorice can cause your body to shut down organs. There was a case I heard of where a person ate a pound and a half of liquorice every day and died from it.
To me this is more an argument in favour of, you know, moderation. Booze will kill you in those quantities too, but I still drink...
Oh definitely. For me, the good thing about licorice is that it's one of the few sweets or snacks where I'm actually satisfied after a couple of pieces, unless it's very sweet. When I open a package of chocolate, cookies or chips, I almost always overeat.
THAT'S IT EXACTLY FOR ME!!!
Open a bag of pralines and half the bag is gone before it's even set on the table.
Open a box of Salmiakki and I have two, maybe three pieces—enjoying them thoroughly!—before "OK, that's enough".
It's amazing stuff!
