The package says "it tastes sour and sweet" - they aren't joking about the sour part. I hated these at first but they've grown on me. They are kind of like the candy warheads - sour on the outside but once you suck on them long enough they are sweet. I enjoy them just as they are; sometimes they are served in tea (yuck!) and even in the middle of candies.
I'm pretty sure you can get these at asian markets in the states - I encourage you to try, just for the experience.
You were trained young. If you can learn to like horehound candy you can learn to like anything.
