According to my grandmother, they were very popular with the "Flappers" of the Roaring 20's, who chewed them to disguise alcohol on their breath. Every time I'd see a package, I'd think of rolled stocking and rouged knees and dancers doing the Charleston.

I've never tried them because I can't stand the taste of licorice.

That Sen-Sen was my introduction to licorice, and I was hooked. I was the kid everyone gave their black jellybeans to.
