6. Licorice Goodness
Orcs and Uruks are the fallen elves of the past, tainted by evil. So it only makes sense that they would have black blood and grimy skin. But did you ever wonder how they managed to make the insides of their mouths black? I mean, body paint wouldn’t stick, you couldn’t use permanent dye, and sticking a prosthetic palette into someone’s mouth seems impractical. The solution? A licorice-based mouthwash. Extras and stuntmen were required to swish around a deliciously-dark mouthwash that kept their mouths and spit as dark as possible. I don’t know about you, but I’d take lead-based paint before licorice mouthwash.
