But it tastes nothing like salt and licorice. It tastes like salmiak (a.k.a. ammonium chloride). Who hasn’t had salmiak at least once in their life?

Salmiak is not popular worldwide. I love salmiak, but almost no one I mention it to is familiar with it.

Isn’t one of the main ingredients licorice root?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

No. It is added to certain types of licorice candy to add flavor but salmiak is it’s own thing.

My chemistry teacher once made salmiak as a demonstration. The only experiment we were ever allowed to taste and quite cool to look at too.

I never connected that salmiakk the candy and salmiakk the cleaning liquid is the same thing until now.
