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.

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.

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

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.

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.
Works wonders!

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

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!

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 !!

I knew these had a medicinal type center, but I was unprepared for just how strong it was. It certainly clears the sinuses and relieves your throat pain!
