The recipe, which was done by Instructables user starshipminivan, will most likely turn your stomach. The recipe states that one can "Eat the orange half of these [double-sided candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malort-sucks) and you'll experience a strange queasy feeling due to the unfortunate combination of [anise (black licorice flavor)](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquorice-toothpaste), garlic, and sugar. Once you have felt the impacts of this gut twisting flavor, calm your tummy with the delightfully minty purple half." **Implications** - Consumers want to incorporate the fantasy of books and films into their every day lives.
