As a kid my parents would give me a Liquorice Allsorts when I hurt myself. I'm 37 now and still a clumsy fuck. I buy my own but still manage to eat almost a whole 350g sharing bag of Liquorice Allsorts every week from bumping into doors or falling over.

@fesshole not to throw shade on a beautiful tradition, especially since I love black liquorice myself, but too much of it may be dangerous, as it contains glycyrrhizin. Symptoms include high blood pressure, headaches and heart arrhythmia.

@fesshole there are people in the replies here who have been conditioned to reply to posts like this with a mention of Pavlov.
I must wonder, though, have you conditioned yourself to seek licorice after an accident, or conditioned yourself to be clumsy because your hindbrain associates trivial injuries with a licorice reward? -
