DISGUSTING. DO NOT BUY.
I HATE THESE. Tastes like pure menthol. I tried getting these down to help me sleep, but I had to spit them out. I'm not picky, but these were horrible! Absolutely do NOT buy these unless you love a strong menthol flavor. plus, they didn't help my cough at all!

Good
I take this as relief for itchy throat and it has a nice flavor to it. The thing I just noticed was in time the syrup/honey part kind of melts and makes a mess when you open the packaging. There's a lot of honey residue left and it's sticky. I think the liquid center seeps out over time... Other than that it's a good lozenge to have. Flavor/mint level wise it's a mild strength. With a try if you want variations with lozenges.

Really work
They effectively relieve pain and inflammation. Convenient size, and the pain relief lasts a long time. I wish it had a ziplock closure for easier storage.

Honey and lemon fans, go buy some!
I highly recommend this product! I've been eating it since I was a child, and the taste is always the same-very good, perfect for any time of day. You can really taste the honey; it's very prominent. It's easy to become addicted.

5 seconds into sucking on one of these I felt like I was going to cough up a lung when the goal was coughing less

Sore throat relief
A household staple when sick. Love the lemon flavor and soothing effects without being over powering like menthol cough drops.

Sweet Relief for Your Throat
The honey lemon flavor is pleasantly sweet with a gentle citrus zing. The effectiveness is impressive, quickly soothing coughs and calming throat irritation. The scent is fresh and comforting, enhancing the relief experience. I love the liquid menthol center, which gives an extra cooling sensation. Overall, these drops are a tasty and reliable choice for natural throat care

Great for sore throats!
These Ricola Max Honey Lemon drops work fast and taste great. The menthol soothes irritation, and the honey lemon flavor isn't too sweet. My go-to during cold season!
