Confirmed with Link: Avs re-sign Mikko Rantanen (6 years, $9.25M AAV)

[Freudian]

Licorice is awesome. Both sweet licorice and salt. In Sweden there are stores that only sell licorice. It's like paradise to go in there.

It's fairly popular to sell licorice wrapped in chocolate as well.

I'm convinced people who hate licorice just haven't had the same kind of licorice. Like how chocolate is different in America.

Yeah that's definitely a thing. I'd wager that for most people, 9/10 of the foods they hate (that a lot of people like) are just due to the fact that they've had bad versions of that food.

I remember I used to hate sushi, but that's only because I'd been fed bland, poorly prepared versions. Sushi is now one of my favorite foods, and some of the sushi I had in Japan would make my top 5 in terms of best food I've ever eaten in a restaurant.

Black licorice is filth though. Not a race thing either.

Why is there two pages about licorice

Have you tried Finnish licorice, or any high quality black licorice? Have you ever had expensive Sambuca?

Sometimes really overpriced though. ;-) It's nice with the ongoing licorice trend though, not complaining.

I had one big disappointment this summer though, buying this Danish made chili licorice at the airport but nothing like I expected, weird taste. Or maybe it was me eating it while drinking beer....

I really like that the thread about the re-signing of our favorite Finn has turned into an in-depth discussion about a popular Finnish snack.

I haven't dove into the high end licorice industry no. I'm more of a chocolate fiend anyways

You should try salted licorice with ketchup. It's a traditional Finnish dessert.

 

[BrickNHL]

Ketchup is the worst thing ever followed very closely by gravy.

Many 'Lanche players eat ketchup. Rantanen for example loves it.

Well, then have you considered that your opinion of black licorice is based on you only ever having bad black licorice? Imagine you had only ever had that chalky fake chocolate you get in really cheap chocolate bars - what would your opinion of chocolate be then?

I'm not even a big licorice fan, but to say something is bad when you've never even tried a high quality version of it is wrong, in my opinion.

Around 3:25. Guys are wondering what's inside Rantanens fridge. First thing he mentions is ketchup.

Gross... Marner wouldn't eat ketchup after scoring all of his ES points.

I'm disappointed that Mikko didn't buy Heinz. Trade his large ass.

There is no such thing as bad chocolate. How dare you.

Is it any surprise that a PP-leech like Mikko subsists off condiments?

I'm starting to suspect you haven't fully lived yet. The world is out there my young friend. Full of bad chocolate and great licorice. Just go out and seize it!

I'll get by somehow I'm not a big foodie, I'm sure it's good though. Like any high quality/chef quality meal.
