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

I don't love Target communication
I ordered flu-fighting items for my husband, who got Covid. The order was supposed to arrive the next day, that was important to us. We waited. No package until 2 days later. The bigger problem is that there is NO way to ask what is going on. The emailed delivery notice said "Exception is filed on package". Nothing else. No clue when -- or if -- it would arrive.. I won't trust Target shippng again for anything needed on short notice. Item is fine, and would have been great to have it when it was most needed.

Awful taste
The cherry version of these are fine, but the taste of this flavor is awful. They are very strong and bitter tasting. I wouldn't recommend. If you need a strong cough drop, pick the cherry flavor.

Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy this flavor. We’ll share your feedback with our team, and we’re glad you’ve found a favorite in the cherry version!

Great for sore throat and cough
These helped sooth my cough more than numbing drops! Really helps the tickle in your throat which helps you get to sleep quicker. Recently had a 5 day sore throat and these Ricola’s saved my life. Great flavor too.

Yuck
The initial flavor isn’t terrible but the center was absolutely gross. I didn’t notice them help with my cough or I would have sucked it up despite the flavor. Wish you could return after opening. Disappointed.

Too strong. I couldn’t even finish one. Like their cherry regular throat lozenges much better.

Eh
The flavor is okay until it breaks and the liquid from the center comes out. That’s not the best tasting thing.

Greedflation on a cough drop that works well
If you're looking for relief from a sore throat or constant cough these work wonders due to the menthol center. Unfortunately, Target has increased the price of these by 40% in just the last year. Bought these for $4.39 in Jan '23. I expected more from Target but they are just like the rest of the greedy corporations in america.

I love these
This is a review for the NEW caramel throat drops from Ricola and the lemon 🍋 mint flavor. 🍂🍁 This time of year, I make sure that I have my cough drops and vitamin C stocked up. I make a baggie and keep in my car. These new ones are filled with a caramel, liquid center. The lemon mint are as well Awesome, huh?! Why I pick this brand to keep on hand, if the cooler weather brings a scratchy throat.

Halls Dupe
It's like the more expensive version of Halls. Don't waste your money and just buy the regular Halls Lemon flavor instead.

Difficult to open individual packets
Very difficult to open! Nothing worse than being sick, weak and needing a cough drop and can’t get the thing open! The flavor is good but the menthol liquid center is awful!

Lifesaver when I have a cold
I never write reviews, but I had to come on here and rave about these cough drops. Instantly soothed my sore throat and it was not too overpowering like a lot of other drops I’ve had in the past. I’m a Ricola girly now !!
