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

Thank you for sharing your preference for the Honey Lemon over the Cherry drops. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and we apologize that the cherry did not meet your expectations.
A little too strong for me.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

[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.
