Can’t believe I wasted years of my life with the wrong cough drops. If anyone out there is needing that little nudge to break up with your old cough drops, let this be it. I like that they’re just as powerful as the ones with cough medicine in the center, but they don’t actually have the gooey stuff. Win!

Little bit - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
I don’t know about you, but when my throat hurts I want something to ease the pain.. I don’t care WHAT it tastes like as long as it helps. I absolutely LOVE these drops. They work!!! I don’t think the taste is intolerable and I’ve never had to spit one out. These used to be stronger and Vicks toned them down for the complainers. They should’ve kept them the same strength for those of us who want relief fast. If you don’t want something that works, might I suggest a “natural” lozenge that has yummy organic fruit juice in it and see how well that helps! Me?… I’m sticking with what works and gives me some relief. Please don’t ever stop making these sore throat drops!!!!

The menthol taste was wayyyy too strong, it felt like my eyes were burning. Like eating straight vapo rub. I could only tolerate the sensation/taste for 30 seconds before spitting them out. Waste of money and didn’t help my dry, sore throat!
1 reply from Vicks team - 1 year ago
Your health and safety are our top priorities, Allie, so we're very sorry to hear that you've had this experience and hope that you're feeling better. Our VapoCool SEVERE drops are formulated to help soothe and relieve your sore throat, so this isn't something we'd expect from them and at this time we recommend that you discontinue using the rest of the bag and consult your doctor. All of our products undergo thorough testing before they find their way to your home, so our Safety team would like to learn more about the drops you noticed with so we can try to help further. Please give us a call at (800) 873-8276.

Inedible

LALights22 - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Literally tastes like solid vaporub. I couldn’t tolerate one for more than a few seconds when I was sick & could not taste or smell. It burned my throat, which was already sore, & was just not at all palatable. Even without being able to taste the flavor! I tried one again after recovering & could oddly tolerate it better, probably because I could now taste a flavor in addition to menthol, but it’s still what I would call inedible. These might work for someone, but I will never purchase or take again.

Soothes a sore throat

Target608 - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
If you have a sore throat these are the cough drops to get. If you don’t have a sore throat use a Ricola because these are not the best tasting and actually taste worse if you’re just needing a cough drop for a cough/post nasal drip. But if you have a sore throat and need something to lessen the pain these actually work! Oh my god these have saved me twice in the past year. Would highly recommend for a sore throat. Obviously see your doctor if your sore throat continues😉.

Marcela - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
These cough drops are STRONG. They are not Halls where you can be sucking on them. They are the type of cough drop to let sit in your mouth. They are effective immediately! Love this about them. Back to the Halls comment, it’s not for taste it’s to fulfill its purpose. Slight minty taste. 10/10 recommend. It’s the only cough drop I grab when I have a sore throat or strong (these got me through the pandemic) I will continue to buy & recommend!

These are HORRIBLE and actually induced coughing instead of relieving it. The overpowering menthol sent me into an uncontrollable coughing fit. Waste of money.

If you’re congested & can’t breathe even after taking a decongestant this will really open your nasal passages. It’s strong too & does a great job of soothing sore throat. NOT a cough drop so buy something else if that’s what need.
