Black Jacks Black Jacks

Black Jacks One of the best classic British sweets EVER we love them! They39re aniseed flavour chewy black rectangles with a delicious and unique taste, and they make your tongue go black so not to be munched just before you go out on that hot date!I wonder where the name comes from Well the answer comes from superstar customer Mike. Are you sitting comfortably Then we39ll begin....Black Jacks were called Black Jacks because the original 1920s labels pictured a grinning gollywog unbelievably, back then images of black people were used to advertise Liquorice. However, by the late 1980s manufacturers Trebor quite rightly scrapped the Black Jacks golly logo as it was racially offensive, replaced the logo with an image of a pirate with a black beard and eye patch and re branded the sweets as Black Jack. And by the early 1990s Trebor disbanded the pirate logo altogether in favour of the current black and white swirl design.Mystery solved... hooray! Thanks Mike.
