Method Death by liquorice

[StateOfMind]

I hate the stuff.. oh well, one less method for me.

Man dies from eating more than a bag of liquorice a day

The 54-year-old construction worker ate a bag-and-a-half of black liquorice every day, doctors say.

Not surprised. It's horrid stuff. I don't understand how anybody can enjoy it.

Yuck, I'll pass on that one.

Everyone in here hates liquorice? Twizzlers are one of the best candies out there.

I don't think twizzlers are actual liquorice. Its the red candy, right? It's the black stuff that's nasty

The news story shows a picture of the red licorice. I don't like the black licorice but the other flavors are good.

He had recently changed from eating red liquorice to black liquorice.
The others flavours don't (or a lot of them don't) have real liquorice in them.

I like black liquorice!
& I quite like chewing on sticks of liquorice root too.

As one comment on a newspaper put it - it takes All Sorts...

I don't like licorice but really like the idea of Death Candy.

If I CTB that way I could amuse the medical examiner a little bit, at least.

I am shocked about how it can cause potassium levels to drop etc, If I was desperate enough and had no other way, that might work with me someway. Since I already have some heart arrhythmia condition from my bulimia, I frequently feel faint dizzy and weak, and I am sure I am quite dehydrated anyway. But still I'd more likely just end up with painful cavities than death itself..
