Normal answer (real): A few years ago, my frisnd's gf was practicing caligraphy and I was asked to provide a random word. I said "anise candy" bc I like them and, since it's a funny sounding word in Polish (anyżek), it stuck as a my nickname for a while. It sounds really cute in English and fits my persona so I've been using it as my name online since then.

Unhinged answer (false) (I'm sorry) (maybe don't read that one): The purpose of a candy is to be eaten, but you're not supposed to chew on it or swallow it~ Instead~ You place it in your mouth and play with it with your tongue until it melts~
