    Mild taste

    These are my family’s go to when we have a sore throat or cough. A lot of drops are so strong that I can’t tolerate them but these have a mild taste that is easily tolerated. And they work.

    The best allergy sucking candies

    These are the best allergy sucking candies. Taste: they test amazing. They are sweet yet minty. It’s not too much and not too little over flavor. I almost get excited when I have a dry throat because these taste so good. They melt like butter on my tongue. Effectiveness: Not only do they taste good but they work so well. It takes 10-15 minutes to fully dissolve in my mouth. It coats back of my throat eliminating that dry or sore feeling. The minty taste is calming in the back of my throat. It’s perfect for allergy season. I also love that’s it made with clean and organic ingredients. There are zero artificial colors and dyes. I love feeling relieved that I a, not putting bad ingredients in my body. These are amazing allergy sucking candies that I would 100 percent recommend!

    Best tasting cough drops out there

    My go-to for sore throats when I'm sick! They literally taste like tea to me instead of that gross medicine taste like other cough drops. Sometimes I pop one in my mouth even when my throat is fine just because I enjoy the taste lol. They help soothe my throat and give a nice cooling effect without being too overpowering.
    1 reply from eCommerce team - 2 months ago

If you're ever looking to try another classic variety, Ricola Honey Herb offers a delightful twist on the Ricola experience.

    Ricola is best!

    One of the best cough/cold drops there is on the market! Tastes great and helps a lot when you have a nasty, annoying cough. It helps freshen your breath too. The packaging also catches your eye due to the yellow color.

    It's just like drinking hot tea!

    I love these cough drops, even my 5 year old requests these! The flavor is light, yet effective. It almost tricks you into thinking you're drinking hot tea. It coats my throat nicely and provides comfort. The strength of the cough drop is powerful, but not overpowering like other brands and flavors.
