5. Who brought up that Grateful Dead quote?
Jerry Garcia is purported to have said: "Our audience is like people who like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice."

12. ever tried Dutch licorice called "drop"?
Licorice candy is a national obsession in the Netherlands :-) It is sold everywhere from pharmacies to corner stores and shipped by mail everywhere else. When the Dutch travel outside the country, most always make sure they have enough with them to last the entire trip.
Drop, the Dutch licorice candy, is the Netherlands' national addiction. Coming in more than 50 different shapes, tastes and textures, and made by at least 10 different companies, it is the one thing Dutch expatriates seem to miss most from their homeland.
In Holland, Drop is eaten by about 80 percent of the country's 16 million residents, who consume about 31 million kilograms, or 68 million pounds, every year. Drop does not at all resemble or taste like American black licorice and the repertoire of unusual flavors, such as honey, menthol and even salt, make Dutch Drop a somewhat acquired taste.
