Good and Plenty, soft and chewy licorice candy with a hard candy shell. Plenty Good! Good and Plenty candy was first produced by the Quaker City Confection Company in Philadelphia in and is the oldest branded candy in the United States.
Back when I was young it was common for two or three generations of families to live in the same house. Ours was one of those. My grandma and grandpa loved to garden and in the summertime we had more fresh produce than our family and all our neighbors could eat.
I was, of course, a child and I would rather eat candy than vegetables one candy in particular. I had a raging passion for Good and Plenty. The only way my grandma could get me to eat my vegetables was to say "boy-them vegetables are good and plenty and if you eat them you can have some Good and Plenty". I worked every time!! For awhile you could mail back a box top or two and a couple of bucks and they mailed you a engineer cap.
Great snack at any time of day or night! What ever happened to his cap I had one and all the guys in our shop had one Will you ever bring it back. Today I bought 2 boxes of Good and Plenty and 1 had all white candies and the other was mostly white but had 6 pinks.

Some people take dietary or health supplements that already contain licorice, which increases the risk of toxic effects from eating black licorice candy. Certain medications such as hydrochlorothiazide are diuretics that cause increased urination, which can lower potassium levels in the body.
Glycyrrhizin also lowers potassium levels, further disrupting the balance of electrolytes, which can produce muscle cramps and irregular heart rhythms. For example, patients who already have low potassium levels hypokalemia , high blood pressure or heart arrhythmia are likely to have greater sensitivity to the effects of excessive licorice. Those with liver or kidney deficiencies will also retain glycyrrhizin in their bloodstream for longer times, increasing their risk of experiencing its adverse effects.
Eaten in small quantities from time to time, licorice poses no significant threat to otherwise healthy adults and children. But it is advisable to monitor your intake. The FDA has issued warnings about the rare but serious effects of too much black licorice, advising that people avoid eating more than two ounces of black licorice a day for two weeks or longer.
The agency states that if you have been eating a lot of black licorice and experience an irregular heart rhythm or muscle weakness, stop eating it immediately and contact your health care provider.
Some scientists have further cautioned against the routine use of licorice in the form of a dietary supplement or tea for its alleged health benefits, including the treatment of cough associated with COVID or other respiratory infections.
