Next Thursday is National Licorice Day, and the folks at Red Vines have sent me a whole mess of licorice facts to share with you guys. So I'm going to give you a new fact, every day, till National Licorice Day.
Alexander the Great's physician told the troops to carry and chew licorice root in order to quench their thirst when water was scarce and to give them stamina and endurance during their long marches. He also said that it was good for stomach trouble, throat trouble and liver and kidney disorders.
Thanks gang at Red Vines!
