          But SB = TA, didn't you guys know that…?

        • @Spackbace:

          You are going to come in and find this item even cheaper somewhere!

        • @Spackbace:

          That would explain the monochromatic avatars…

          But how come you're both online at the same time? ¬_¬

        • @serpserpserp:

          I'll wait for it to hit $0.

        • @serpserpserp:

          Use a discounted wish card to get it for $1.90 ;)

      • Yep they are no match

  • I get an error saying no product found and last time I checked my Woolies they didn't have them. Probably non existent in WA.

    • I get the same too, am in WA and signed in to my Woolies online account.

    I don't know what's actually in this wheel, but since it's almost half a kilogram I'll leave this here:
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14520600
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12970265
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3498851/

    Licorice has been noted for its notable estrogen bioactivity in vitro and is so effective at reducing testosterone levels in women it is sometimes recommended for hirsutism and PCOS. As cited above, it appears to affect testosterone in men as well.

    While it is commonly used in traditional herbal medicine and may make you feel great the first day you probably want to avoid Brodening a trolleyful of this product until science does it's thing.

    • Aww man!

      Why can't there be a container, packaging, drink or food which actually boosts testosterone?

      It's like the manufacturers want to make us all submissive…

      • I know, right. It seems that everything that makes you feel better inhibits testosterone (mint tea for digestion, soy products for lactose intolerant etc) or (maybe) shrinks your testes (theobromine in chocolate)

    • rat's blood is the main ingredient if I remember my roald dahl correctly

      • How do you know it doesn't contain natural liquorice root? Is it a legal requirement in Australia to list it as an ingredient (as opposed to aniseed)? I'm genuinely interested since I believe I bought bullets with black licorice from the same company (found it! http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/superior-li…) that contained liquorice extract (I can't see the ingredients online :( Please post!). Every other company I've bought that sells black licorice in Australia has at least some licorice extract (e.g. Darrell Lea, Licorette).

      • Sorry I couldn't find an ingredients list for the wheel, only the bullets.

        If you have a packet or know where to find the ingredients please share. I'm sure you're wheely wheely good at research ;)

      I dont care how much shit is in whatever I eat so stop telling us

      • Haha. My former workmate was having certain problems and was advised by his doctor not to eat certain foods. Just passing it on.

        P.S. Thanks for the clown warnings :)

        • Your welcome!!

        • +1

          My former workmate was having certain problems

          With his penor?

      • Kopi luwak is 100 % shit FYI.

    • Until science does its thing? Licorice has been made into confectionery for hundreds of years, should we just sit this deal out and wait an extra couple hundred years till "science does its thing"? This deal might not be available in 2216.

      • Sorry. Broden is an OzBargainer term for buying them out (more specifically, for reselling on eBay at a profit, but that isn't my implication). One box with 1% licorice extract probably won't turn you into a girly man. Maybe if you buy 100 and have 3 x 450g packs a day for a month it's different - who knows? Scientists get things wrong all the time.

        People can get emotional over being told what to eat but I obviously don't care how virile anonymous OzBargainers are (beyond basic empathy) nor do I work for a competing non-licorice-selling candy company. I instinctively shared the info but forgot where I'm posting it. I should stick to the travel deals :)

        • Ahaha dude my comment was supposed to be humourous, but obviously wasn't.

        • @COR80: Nah, it was. The comment I'm reacting to in terms of getting emotional was apparently unpublished for a "personal attack" against me but yours was the last comment so I let it out just in case for future generations of commenters (because the "100s of years" component of the comment is exactly what you hear about any food that's now considered bad for you and others may read that part and jump in to question me as if I officially represent "modern science" :) It happens almost every time I reference anything…). I can assure you I assumed it was a joke from the last line and had a manly laugh.

  • Got to say this is really nice Liquorice. Got one a few months ago for $4 - was a bargain then.

  • http://i.imgur.com/yRucgtH.jpg

    They come in wheels?

  • isn't that too much liquorice for a person?

    • Great for sharing or could last at least a few months if you have good will power..

    • eat it in 2 sittings

  • Looks very similar to my favorite liquorice "the big strap", thanks TA.
