HEIDI KLUM HATES AMERICAN LICORICE

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- President-elect George W. Bush's first duty in office should be improving the taste of American-made licorice. That's the opinion of German-born supermodel Heidi Klum, who says she hates American licorice and compares it to "stringy gummi bears." Klum tells gossip reporter Baird Jones that European licorice is "thick, black and salty, and so hard you can lose a filling chewing it." Although she admits to eating as many as 50 pieces of Euro-licorice at a time, Klum says can't stomach the American stuff and demands a law that would preventing it from being sold as "licorice."
