These work very well at soothing my throat.
These are fantastic! They helped soothe my throat after speaking for long periods of time for my job. They don't taste bitter. They don't leave a terrible aftertaste. I always buy the bag and keep them in my desk drawer. I also take out a few and put them in my purse because they are individually wrapped. They actually taste nice but the most important thing to me is that they work and they work well.

Not soothing
Thought this would feel soothing on my throat but actually makes it worse.

Cough drops are usually gross but these taste like caramel hard candy. Very yummy. I wish they were a tiny bit stronger but otherwise good.

Great for sore throats without being overpowering
I recently tried these caramel cough drops for the first time and I love them. I was hesitant because they only list pectin and no menthol which usually doesn't do much for a really irritated throat. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they do offer a similar, much less intense, feeling to menthol and it still helps soothe. I'm assuming that's coming from some of the herbal ingredients. The flavor is great and different from the usual suspects that get old quick. The drop lasts about 5 minutes for me including getting to the liquid middle that provides a warm rush to help even more. They may be my new favorite cough drops!

Nice alternative to the usual mint and fruity cough drops. Tastes like a hard caramel / butterscotch candy. The filling tastes a little chocolately, almost like a thin mint but less minty. I wish the filling was thicker because I feel like it didn’t coat my throat or provide much relief.

Very tasty
These are delicious. They have some stuff in the middle that helps to soothe your throat. I ate them like candy when I had a bad sore throat.

Reward for throat issues!
Flavor! Is so good. It helps with my throat and dry mouth issues. And it's like a little reward of candy. In fact if I knew I could just eat it like candy I probably would it's so good!

Menthol & natural herbs
These are my favorite throat lozenges. The menthol in them is very soothing, and I like the flavor. Helps to soothe my throat when I have a hoarse voice or are sick.
