“FDA issues warning about black licorice for Halloween: ‘It tastes like shit’”

“FDA issues warning about black licorice for Halloween: ‘It tastes like shit’” is a meme that has been printed on many images. The FDA is the Food and Drug Administration. The real FDA warning stated that black licorice can cause heart attacks.
       
“FDA issues a warning about black licorice for Halloween. ‘It tastes like shit’ -FDA” was posted on Twitter by The Beer Princess on October 4, 2018. The FDA responded to the memes. “While we did post a warning about black licorice, we did not say it tastes like [Pile of poo]. Read what we do have to say about consuming too much of the divisive treat! http://go.usa.gov/xPPhQ” was posted on Twitter by U.S. FDA on October 31, 2018.
   
   
Wikipedia: Liquorice (confectionery)
Liquorice (British English) or licorice (American English) (/ˈlɪkərɪʃ, -ɪs/ LIK-ər-is(h)) is a confection usually flavoured and coloured black with the extract of the roots of the liquorice plant Glycyrrhiza glabra. A wide variety of liquorice sweets are produced around the world. In North America, black liquorice is distinguished from similar confectionery varieties that are not flavoured and coloured black with liquorice extract but commonly manufactured in the form of chewy ropes or tubes. So called “black liquorice” together with anise extract is also a widespread flavour in other forms of confectionery such as jellybeans.
