Black Rose

Crows Licorice Flavored Gumdrops

Crows were invented in the 1890's. Originally to be called "Black Rose", the printer misheard the name and printed "Black Crows" on all the wrappers. The name stuck and the sweet, black licorice-flavored gumdrops are as delectable today as they were more than a century ago. 8.5oz theatre sized box measures 6 3/4 x 4 x 1".


Today's earrings: roses, crows

  2. I just remembered that I would also like for Xmas a good flashlight. Good = small enough for me to carry in my bag so I can use it on my commute home; strong enough beam so that I can see all the nooks and scary bits of Keoncrest Path; and reliable - I don't want to have to shake it really hard to make it to work. :)

  3. Did you know that there are 15 Angry Lemmings who have wish lists on Amazon. Is there anyway you can send a link so that I can identify which list is yours?
