Good & Plenty is believed to be the oldest candy brand in the US. The pink & white capsule-shaped chewy licorice was first made in 1893 in Philly. Are you a fan? I don't care for black licorice so I am not. I do like the fruit flavored ones that are like jelly beans.

I used to spend my lunch money on those when I was on the way to elementary school.

Not a fan either. The reason there are plenty is because few people like them.

They were ok; licorice was good, the candy coating was sort of chalky & pasty.
I always preferred Good 'n Fruity.

I asked for Good & Plenty at the movie theater last week and the counter person didn't know what it was. I might need to face facts. I'm an old fart now. 😟

Love it, can't eat it due to high blood pressure--licorice is not good to eat if one has trouble with that.

Real licorice is an acquired taste. It freshens the breath and isn't very sweet. Hence the candied sugar coating

Ray: He separates his Good 'n Plenties into "goods" and "plenties." Which one is which again?
Robert: Never mind.
Ray: No, no, go ahead. Go ahead.
Robert: The pinks are the "goods," and the whites are the "plenties." 'Cause there's always more of them."
