My wife,Pam thinks it might be used for liquor or icecream.


I might have to cheat on this one.

Your wife's guess would be incorrect. But I would have likely guessed liquor myself.

I'll give some others a chance to guess first.

...gosh I hope it's candy, but I'm pretty sure it's not.

No. It's not used for anything you eat.

...um would you smoke it?...I heardy somtehing years ago about licorice in cigarettes, but it sounds so awful to soil the perfect taste of licorice with cigarette smoke. nummers!

Yes. It's used in the tobacco industry.
