G'DAY MATE! "Lucky Country" is a nickname sometimes used to describe Australia. Our famous licorice was actually started by a lucky accident. During the process of making a batch of hard licorice, an Australian candy maker miscalculated and made a soft, smooth product. Aussie-style soft licorice was born! Almost 50 years later, it is still Australia's favorite type of licorice candy! Here at Lucky Country USA, we take pride in the fact that our soft chewy licorice delivers "More Flavor in Every Bite" compared to other standard licorice products. We've made Lucky Country Aussie-Style Soft Licorice available to the world for over a decade now, and while Australian licorice may have originated by a mistake in Australia, we believe we have perfected it and done so proudly in the USA.
