Fun fact, the word candy is American, and comes from the Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam/New York. It comes from the Dutch word 'Kandij', which is a form of sugar. So candy started out as sweet since it was literally sugar.

Hahaha, so funny! I think they are delicious! I love it when the little holes appear and the pure ammonium chloride (salmiak salt) creeps out, and then after that has vanished they really do taste sweet again. I think they are the salty equivalent of the super sour sweets, and they actually have a sibling that may well be the ancestor of the super sour sweets. It is the citrus Napoleon. I love all of them, but I love the salmiak and drop version most. Be aware theough, after having a few, they will make many small cuts in your tongue and gums and that can keep on hurting for a little while. The more violently you suck on them, the worse that will get, so just eat two or three, but not too many at once!
