Stop! Buy the lemon instead!
The flavor on these is pretty disgusting. I know cough drops aren't supposed to taste great but the lemon are so much better and actually quite enjoyable

A little too strong for me.
Was not prepared for the menthol center. It took my breath away for sure.

JUST BUY IT!
Don’t let the negative reviews deter you like it almost did me. I’m so glad I got this because it is effective with soothing my sore throat. And the middle part that negative reviews are referring to isn’t bad at all! It’s definitely soft and has a more medicinal taste, but isn’t that what you’d want? Lol. I actually like the taste and I don’t think overpowering either. I highly recommend this if you are looking for that soothing effect.

Worked great for sore throat and cough
Thought I had strep throat. These soothed my throat very well. Worked for night time cough as well

Do not recommend
Really disappointed. Normally I go for sugar free cough drops cause I don’t like the aftertaste when I take them at night. All the good reviews hyped up this product. They did absolutely nothing for me. I do not recommend. It’s a waste of $5 which to me is a lot of money for cough drops especially when they don’t work

They work but they are sharp!
They worked fine but when the liquid center melted it created a sharp edge that cut the roof of my mouth open. Bled for the better part of an hour. It was disgusting. I know this is a ridiculous review but this actually happened and I had to leave a work meeting because to get some ice to try and help it stop so I would never buy these again for that reason.

These helped
I will admit the center surprised me at first and I wasn’t loving the strong taste. However it really helped my cough and once it got to the center cleared my sinuses. It gave relief so I can get over the taste.

Good product
The flavor is good . The price is right. I had a sore throat and these helped it tremendously. Inside is a liquid that coats and soothes the throat.

Soothes a sore throat
I've been experiencing a sore and extremely dry throat the past week or so and was looking for something to relieve my pain and discomfort. These drops really do work! It takes a minute or two to kick in, but when it does, it definitely takes away some pain and discomfort. The cherry taste is a nice flavor.

They work but I very much did not enjoy the experience of the liquid Center. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't that lol

Horrible experience!
These are the worst. I took one for a sore throat and fell asleep with it…I woke up gagging and coughing/choking for hours. Felt like a reaction of some sort. Throwing away the entire package. Caused me more pain and discomfort than I had before. Absolutely do not recommend

Best cough drops I’ve ever tried
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best cough drops ever. I used these when I had Covid. The cough was horrible and I had it for a long 2 months. Nothing else helped. Until I got these. They were the only thing that helped with my cough.

Tastes Horrible
Wow the liquid center is horrible! Literally burns your eyes because the menthol in the center is so strong. Wouldn’t buy again.

The complainers on taste sound like a bunch of kids lol I’d try it first before basing your purchase on the negative reviews! I dislike Cherry flavor in general but they’re tolerable, especially since they help with my cough/sinuses
