I dislike cough drops and do EVERYTHING NOT to use them. Halls are disgusting and so on. These Mucinex cough drops are SMOOTH and work SO MUCH BETTER than any other brand. I’ve had this flavor and the mixed berry. Actually delicious and soothing for a cough drop!

I really wanted this product to work on my sore, burning throat. I tried the recommended dose twice, but with no discernible lessening of the sore throat pain. I have always found Mucinex products to be helpful with colds and coughs previously. I will look for another product to help with sore throat pain. Thank you.

I really wanted these to be great, but very disappointed. I have tried the sore throat one in the orange bag as they work great to open the airway and soother my throat. These are just so sweet it’s like sucking on a piece of candy that will soon numb your tongue just a tad nut leaving you wanting another. Sorry I will definitely pass on these.

Bought these because I love Mucenex sinus relief and I had a bad sore throat so I thought I'd try these. In my opinion I felt like I was sucking on a Life Savers cherry. No relief, just cherry flavor.

Bought for sore throat and this product doesn't touch it! Tastes like candy in the front of my mouth. Also try opening each individal packet in the middle of the night without scissors! Can't do it. Don't waste money. Makes me question other Mucinex products --

Flavor is on point for a cough drop. A black cherry flavored cough drop. Numbing, yes, but not specifically my throat. I bought them to keep my mouth moist when my nose is stopped up and causes the throat tickle, perfect for the job.
