Good man. I've been smashing down packets all week. I only just read about the anti viral properties you brought up. lol like i really needed any more of a reason to eat the stuff. I'm eating so much at the moment that my poop has gone a greeny colour.

A friend of mine very likely has COVID. Because of knowing herbalism he went for chewing licorice root to get at the licorice extract and indeed this seemed to alleviate things for him somewhat.
Licorice root is well known to be effective in respiratory ailments.
Of course he also 5x a day dissolves a teaspoon of neat vitamin C in water and drinks that. That in itself mitigates for instance flu symptoms greatly.

Apparently the ammonium chloride in salty licorice is supposed to be there for respiratory related medicinal purposes as well. I don't trust it though.

Whats there not to trust about ammonium chloride? Both NH3 and HCl are physiological molecules, as is NH4Cl itself.
As long as its foodgrade.

There is the aspect of ammonium ions being a waste product that the body goes to great lengths to eliminate, though I guess it is a small quantity in the licorice. I just think of ammonia/ammonium ion as a poison basically, and I don't think it belongs in my lungs if it can be avoided. Don't like the idea of it being added to cigarettes either.

I eat two vitamin C pills close to daily as well. I love the taste of them but i hate the smell. They're not concentrated though. I used to work at an organic farm with unlimited bags of (concentrated) ascorbic acid (powdered form) available due to one of the investors being a chemist mad about the chemistry and science behind everything. I always say that if you're sick and not getting the runs then you're not taking enough vitamin c. The ascorbic acid i used to get was very concentrated and so much better than the store pills i'm buying now. While i'm new to the helath benefits of licorice i can totally back up as accredited as i am to the consumption of vitamin c.
For anyone wondering what the fuck vitamin c does it basically acts as fuel for your immune system. Keep that tank full so that your immune can kick some viral ass.

For something to be licorice it has to contain liqorice root extract, only the black stuff is really licorice, just like "white chocolate" isnt chocolate and "0% beer" isnt beer.

Yeah yeah, I was joking. But I do love twizzlers. I love when people call twizzlers liquorice.

I've never seen orange ice-cream. Darrell Lea recently released a line of ice creams and the liquorice and aniseed one is divine.

That does sound good. Here's a pic of the ice cream I'm talking about:
