Those black Hacks candy are so old-school, it's hard not to love them! I have a few lying around so I decided to check out the ingredients listed on the wrapper (all in Malay):
- Glukosa
- Sukrosa
- Mentol
- Minyak Kayu Putih
- Minyak Adas Manis
- Pati Marrub-Marrub
- Cecair Tolu
- Sebatian Tinktur Benzoin
- Pati Tussilag-Tussilag
- Pewarna yang dibenarkan (Karamel cecair BE45, Pes Hitam H9669)
- Glukosa - 63.7%
- Sukrosa - 35.78%
- Mentol - 0.18%
- Minyak Kayu Putih - 0.15%
- Minyak Adas Manis - 0.11%
- Pati Marrub-Marrub - 0.03%
- Cecair Tolu - 0.02%
- Sebatian Tinktur Benzoin - 0.02%
- Pati Tussilag-Tussilag - 0.008%
- Pewarna yang dibenarkan (Karamel cecair BE45, Pes Hitam H9669)
Jokes aside, I'm concerned about "Sebatian Tinktur Benzoin". Isn't benzoin some kind of alcohol? And not the overpriced ones they charge at bars either.

I don't think benzoin is an alcohol. Most probably some benzene ring structure.
Pes Hitam!
