JHG [to Ral]: Yes?!
JHG says, "And?"
Ral [to JHG]: I've got the Zwart Mit BM in front of me.
JHG Cheers
Ral is opening the packaging.
Ral [to JHG]: Feel free to explain what I'm doing to the others.
JHG says, "I joining you
"
You say, "What I have here in my hand is a brown, hard candy spheroid."
You say, "It doesn't smell suspicious."
JHG and Ral are now going to do a sysnchonized Zwart-Wit candy eating
You say, "Here goes..."
Ral pops it in his mouth.
JHG says, ":)))"
You say, "Tastes vaguely anis flavoured..."
JHG says, "Wait for the powder at the core."
Ral [to JHG]: You realize I'm probably going to post this to the Bad Candy people.
JHG nds
You say, "This is a strange flavour."
Ral considers biting through to the core.
You say, "I tast something vaguely like jalapeno pepper..."
Ral bites.
You say, "AUGH! What the hell?!"
Janus says, "never bite in candies you don't know"
JHG cheers
Ral eyes water.
Crysta offers Ral a glass of juice.
JHG goes for nr 2
You say, "Who in their right mind puts ammonium chloride in a candy?"
Janus [to Ral]: aliens
Ral swigs down some grape soda to wash away the taste.
You say, "There was a slight burning/sizzling sensation as I bit through... Ugh..."
JHG says, "For those that are interested: I sent Ral some candy including some Salmiak candy"
You say, "Most of the candy was pleasant up to this stuff. Evil, evil Dutch!"
JHG [to Ral]: I warned you!
Janus chuckles.
Ral feels slightly light headed after the ordeal.
Janus takes note in a black little book, under JHG he writes: 'evil dutch'.
You say, "Salmiak, is, as you mentioned, ammonium chloride?"
JHG says, "I normaly suck it until 2 openings appear at opposing end and then suck the powder from the core
"
You say, "And at what point do you begin to see the little glowing devils dancing before your eyes?"
JHG [to Ral]: Yep. Salmiak is NH4Cl, created by mixing Ammonia and Choridic Acid
JHG [to Ral]: When I wake up
You say, "This isn't Bad Candy, no this is EVIL CANDY."
JHG [to Crysta]: You were right: Chemistry is fun
JHG [to Ral]: Nope, Triple Salted Licorice is!! No fear: no salted licorice is included
You say, "This stuff was dredged from the pits of hell."
JHG [to Ral]: You know what is fun: The sugar slivers also lacerate your tongue
You say, "Yeah, what is it with Europe and black liquorice? The Brits seem to have an inordinate affection for anis flavouring too."
Janus [to JHG]: where were those candies from?
JHG says, "The Dutch are addicted to liquorice"
JHG [to Janus]: The Netherlands
JHG says, "And after the lacerations the salt hurts like hell...."
Ral [to JHG]: After seeing all the black liquorice bits in that bag of Red Band Snoepmix Classic, I can believe it.
Janus [to JHG]: I mean, home made? standard candies? or especially prepared as a terrorist attack on an unsuspecting victim?
JHG [to Janus]: You can buy them by the bag full
Janus says, "neat"
You say, "The other stuff was pretty good: Lange Jan and what not."
You say, "The Double Diamond candy seemed to just be flat portions of marshmallow, though."
JHG nds
You say, "The whinking pig on the package gave me pause though."
