hate coffe, can take anisette pitzel italian cookies but if you give me pure black licorice thems fightin' terms, same with ANY kind of twizzler cause if i want to eat plastic i'll flavor it myself
My friend left a box of these in my car. I was super psyched- fruit candy!! So I popped 5 or 6 of them in my mouth and about threw up. Not fruit not fruit!! Licorice- yuch!! I spit them back into the box.
Wow, that’s some good self-control there. I will do a box or week if they’re around.
Also, if you like licorice, my wife got me the large sampler from licorice.com, it was really good and absolutely worth it. Their black licorice was really good, definitely my favorite out of easily found commercial brands. But Good & Plenty is the value king.
Every Sunday I looked forward to going to church because it meant candy at granny’s afterwards.
Sometimes she had these. And I would smash them and lift rocks looking for “Rollie pollies” that wanted to eat the smashings.
Thank you for removing these from rotation.
Bro I once got a box that had four purples and the rest were white. It was fucking crazy.
Also if you like these, the black licorice medallions from Sees are legit
I was delighted to find a cheap 5lb bag on Amazon. Then I leaned about black licorice toxicity and had to ration it out to myself at safe levels. It was SO DIFFICULT. Team Good and Plenty!
There’s not much pure licorice in Good & Plenty. What you have to be careful of is the pure licorice, like Panda licorice or another brand that doesn’t put licorice in a coating. Also, you have to eat a LOT of pure licorice to get sick.
My grandmother likes black licorice flavor (hard pass) and when I was little, I tried these at her house and spit it out. It looked so yummy but tasted like medicine.
If you had to ask me the candy I hate the most in the whole world of which that would be a very tiny list, good and plenty are the ones that would pop up first
Can I ask OP, what does black licorice taste like to you? Cause I have tried Good and Plenties, black jelly beans, and even the actual black licorice and I just can't stomach the flavor. But I know each person's taste buds run differently.
my desire for black licorice isn't consistent, sometimes I really enjoy it and other times it's the most disgusting thing (that i imagine is similar to what most people feel when they say they hate black licorice). there's no difference in how it literally tastes, just whether I'm actually craving that flavor or not.
Are those boxes the sizes that the used to be? At Walmart all the candy boxes and bags are smaller. I don't see how they're selling potato chips and snacks at the new prices.
jelly belly also makes a similar candy called licorice pastels - you can order them in 1 lb bags and they are pretty much exactly the same as good&plenty, except they are always fresh in my experience. too many times I've bought an package of 'still good' good&plenty and they are hard as rocks
the licorice pastels actually used to be much thinner (which i actually liked more), but now are exactly the same size as good&plenty because they changed manufacturers
My mom always had these hiding in a drawer so my dad wouldn’t eat them. Once and a while as a child I’d sneak one or two (one purple and one white of course).
I never liked them, but I’d still sneak them sporadically.
Now, some 30 years later, I might catch a glimpse of those at a random store and pick them up for some sweet sweet memories of simpler times filled with happiness. A box will last me months, which is great cause these things don’t seem to expire.
I’m sorry and WHERE did you say you lived?… I’m just ….doing a poll… I’m def not gonna come to your house and steal them all! (Because they are one of my favorites!)
Perhaps only people of extreme intellect like black licorice 😜
"Oh man....I was looking for those! I checked store after store, but none were in stock. Mike and Ike's suck, so I refuse to buy any of the many they had."
- No person ever
Good and Plenty are the only form of this candy now. Twizzlers used to make Goodies but stopped a few years ago. Now my only chance to get them is Good and Plenty from Fred Meyer when I go to the states for gas.
You can have them 😂
Came to the comments to say this exactly!
All they want lol
I said this out loud
Yeaaaa i will never like that flavor. Give me Mike and Ike’s any day though.
I miss Mike and Ike’s zours!! Did you eat those when you were younger (assuming you’re my age 😂🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️)
Good and Scarce.
Lmao
You’re doing the world a big favor. I salute you.
I’ve never actually seen someone throw themselves on a grenade before.
Just that one Captain America flick, and this guy is clearly just as brave!
Cool....fill the spot with Milk Duds.......
This thread is hilarious. OP is gushing. Comments are shredding. EVERYONE is having a good time. ❤️
These are my daughter and I’s favorite lol
One of my favorites
These are one of my fav too! So damn yummy 😋
Don’t tell anybody, but I go for them.
I had to scroll forever to find someone who LIKES them. I have a hard time not eating a whole box in one sitting lmao! Yummmmm!
Oh I can eat a whole box for sure 😂 my dad loves them too lol
These were my mom’s favourites. It took me years to learn to like black licorice, now I search for these in candy stores. So good!
I’m going to have to go get some now 😂
My favorite too
My people!!!
you can have the whole world stock of black licorice, its the worst thing in the world
I love licorice but hate good and plenty.
i cant stand licorice at all in any form, or ANY kind of twizzler cause of the texture.
Twizzlers are an insult to licorice.
What is your stance on gummies?
Noooooo I want some too
I don't like black licorice, but I actually love anisette cookies. Dunked in coffee? OMG
hate coffe, can take anisette pitzel italian cookies but if you give me pure black licorice thems fightin' terms, same with ANY kind of twizzler cause if i want to eat plastic i'll flavor it myself
You brave soul thank you for your sacrifice.
Hahahah
You did so I don't have to. Thank you. 🫡
Fucking gross but good on you
You bastard! No wonder I couldn’t find any. Best. Candy. Ever.
Maybe the only somewhat common candy I can’t enjoy. This and the black and orange wrapped Halloween taffies.
Yeah those black and orange things are terrible
I’m not upset about this.
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
I’m ok with this 😅
All yours, OP.
I buy mine in a peg bag because they are fresher.
🤮🤮
Good and plenty are good they don’t deserve the hate
Love them!
If there isn't plenty, then it's no good.
All yours . I hate that anise black licorice flavor. Blech.
No need to apologize
I hate Good and Plentys. You can have mine.
Pick up some Circus Peanuts and Necco Wafers on your way out soldier, I appreciate your service 👍
My friend left a box of these in my car. I was super psyched- fruit candy!! So I popped 5 or 6 of them in my mouth and about threw up. Not fruit not fruit!! Licorice- yuch!! I spit them back into the box.
😂😂😂
They used to make a fruit flavored one called good and fruity . ....
Yes- those were fruity and delicious- unlike the shockingly gross good and plenty.
Well no one eats those so you’re fine
How long will this last you?
Truthfully, close to a year since I'll probably eat a box a month. The best by date is Feb 2025 so I have time.
Wow, that’s some good self-control there. I will do a box or week if they’re around. Also, if you like licorice, my wife got me the large sampler from licorice.com, it was really good and absolutely worth it. Their black licorice was really good, definitely my favorite out of easily found commercial brands. But Good & Plenty is the value king.
Good and fruity was better
Every Sunday I looked forward to going to church because it meant candy at granny’s afterwards. Sometimes she had these. And I would smash them and lift rocks looking for “Rollie pollies” that wanted to eat the smashings. Thank you for removing these from rotation.
Good and gone. Thank you!
You can keep them sir
I've seen a lot of fucked up shit but this takes the cake
You might genuinely be the first person in my life to mention this candy. I knew it existed but never once had an inkling of interest
Bro I once got a box that had four purples and the rest were white. It was fucking crazy. Also if you like these, the black licorice medallions from Sees are legit
That’s okay. Just don’t take all my Mr. Goodbars.
You're the hero we need but don't deserve. Next order of business, go back and buy all the Circus Peanuts too.
Good. My mom likes these, but most people…don’t
Ha! I always stock up on those when I’m there.
Hello best friend!
ITS THE DEVILS CANDY… though my moms freakin loves them. I hate these lying bastards
Literally the worst candy ever made lol
Thank you for taking one for the team O7
They're good and you bought plenty of them
Eww. This is the one person on the planet that eats that trash.
YOU MONSTER!! WHO EATS GOOD AND PLENTY!?!!
One of my favorites 😋but Nerd gummy clusters are inching ahead
Son of a bitch.
Haha you’re more the welcome to it at my store. It’s a huge no thank you never for me. I’m glad you like it:-)
Just don't touch my Swedish fish!
ITS YOUUUUU
I love the candy shell on Good n Plenty
I forgive you
So it was YOU! 😞
I like these because they taste good. And you get a lot of them.
your doing gods work, thank you soldier for buying up all that trash
You’re a psycho, my good man
Worlds first good and plenty fan
I can't find then, cause I'm not looking for em
Dammit ! I knew it was someone!!!!
I was delighted to find a cheap 5lb bag on Amazon. Then I leaned about black licorice toxicity and had to ration it out to myself at safe levels. It was SO DIFFICULT. Team Good and Plenty!

This is the best news I’ve had in ages! Thank you!
No, please, keep taking them.
My grandmother likes black licorice flavor (hard pass) and when I was little, I tried these at her house and spit it out. It looked so yummy but tasted like medicine.
One of the most deceiving looking candy of all time.
Choo Choo Charlie would be proud.
Choo Choo Charley and I say you can never get enough of them.
If you had to ask me the candy I hate the most in the whole world of which that would be a very tiny list, good and plenty are the ones that would pop up first
plenty of good & plenty also you don't have to be sorry, you can have them

Gotcha. Ty for clarifying. I was thinking it was kind of like people with cilantro. Another particular food item, that I don't do well with.
Makes me in the mood for G&P!
Thank you
Trust me nobody wants those
Are those boxes the sizes that the used to be? At Walmart all the candy boxes and bags are smaller. I don't see how they're selling potato chips and snacks at the new prices.

I didn’t know people actually ate those.

Thank you. Gross.
Glad I’m not the only one that likes them!
I love me some anise!
Probably close to expiring. Keep em'
Good riddance.
nobody but you were getting them so thank you for doing us a favor
I’m sorry and WHERE did you say you lived?… I’m just ….doing a poll… I’m def not gonna come to your house and steal them all! (Because they are one of my favorites!) Perhaps only people of extreme intellect like black licorice 😜
Ain’t gonna lie, my grandma stayed stocked up with these and I never understood why. But hey all the power to ya, thanks for the nostalgia trip!
Ok grandma, go back to bed.
My kiddo and I were picking out candy today. She picked a box of these up and said “who EATS these?” I guess this answers her question 😆
Gross. Take them all. Lol
Count your fuckin days bud
had someone buy out every box of Mike & Ike Sours at my job today. of course i let them keep the PDQ as well
Thank you for your service 🙏
thank you for your service ❤️
I’m okay with this.
GOOD for YOU 🤮
I actually enjoy these, that being said I've never met or seen another person eating them
I'm convinced that black licorice is an acquired taste the way coffee is, given how some people like it and some people despise it
Good. They’re disgusting! Enjoy
Thank you for your service. Grab Charlie and get in the choo choo train out of here with that. Yuck!
Ol gross ass. Next you're gonna tell me there's no Charleston Chew.
Appreciate you, Salute!
Save some for me dammit
We found the person who is keeping these in production. Let’s see if we can tackle the person who is keeping Long John Silvers open. 🕵️♀️🧐
You can keep em all 🤣 shit nasty
Don’t apologize we should be thanking you for not letting these go to waste
Oh shucks 🤮
Did you also grab all the Necco wafers, which are of course, the best candy?
We are the same
wasn’t looking homie
It says Good & Plenty buy it never enough
"Oh man....I was looking for those! I checked store after store, but none were in stock. Mike and Ike's suck, so I refuse to buy any of the many they had." - No person ever
I call em Pepto bisma
Bruh took the whole display box
Good & Fruity was far superior.
Falling on the sword for all of us.
sorry folks, I'm the reason why your health care premiums keep going up
they’re all yours, bud 😂
Good for you! I stock two-three sleeves of Milk Duds, Hot Tamales, Good & Plenty. With CowTails, Cinnamon and Butterscotch Discs.
Tastes like lead based paint and asbestos!!!! All in one!!!!
Alexander The Grape man….. bring those back! The ones from the 80s not the 💩they have now
If I got these at Halloween I would just eat the candy shell and throw away the licorice part. 😅
If you like good and plenty, order snaps from Amazon.
Take them out of circulation!! Black licorice is not my jam.
Good riddance
Thank you for your service and sacrifice
good and plenty are good but never plenty
Only $1 at Dollar General 😉
Thank you for your service
Please buy every other box in existence.
Ah, a fellow person of good taste. I will pay you $10 for one box.
I do not mind at all. Have at em
Good & Plenty are delicious 😋
Love these!!
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
No need to be sorry 🥴
What's good and plenty?
Its like you used your hands to scoop turds out of a toilet, ate them, then told everyone else "haha none for you!"
Darn you! I love those!
Have them all. I’ll likely be too busy emptying out the Hot Tamales to even notice they were there or gone….🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully they start sticking better candy now
What flavor is good and plenty?
I mean, people like what they like, even if it is a revolting affront to God.
Love good and plenty’s
These remind me of Christmas. 🎄
Take ‘em and all the black jelly beans as well, yuk
I love these bro
I also buy a LOT of Good & Plenty at the Dollar Tree. There are dozens of us! Dozens!
You have done a service to humanity!!
Adults only!
Im like this with boston baked beans. No one likes them and I cant get enough. I like Good and Plenty too.
I’m a Mike and Ike man myself
Well that actually helps. 🤝 you non mutual bastards
Oh no problem, you can have my share.
Well that's good. At least you got plenty 😊
Good and Plenty are the only form of this candy now. Twizzlers used to make Goodies but stopped a few years ago. Now my only chance to get them is Good and Plenty from Fred Meyer when I go to the states for gas.
Dang my grandmas gonna be pissed
Doing the lord’s work- taking that garbage off the shelves. Thank you, citizen.
Were they all stale?
Good. Take plenty.
My dollar tree ain"t had any for at least a month. Its my work snack and ain't got none.
Gross and fuck off
That's okay, you were the only one looking for it
not all heroes wear capes ❤️❤️❤️
Yum 😋 enjoy flavor buddy.
