@RedOx About 30% less than Target normal price, where you can buy 40 at a time. And try different flavors. Is the small savings worth buying a 3 year supply?
One of the secrets of the medical field is that most are fine for well beyond their expiration dates.
[DISCLAIMER: obviously don’t take this comment as proof of anything. And for the love of any/all gods, don’t mess with medication for life-threatening situations.]
@haydesigner A PharmD (and current MD student) told me the same thing recently. Most drugs (tho not all) and many foods are perfectly good (and safe) way beyond their expiration date.
I think you’re over-playing your hand here, Meh. You act all casual, but you and I both know that, regardless of how potent these drops may be after their expiration date, you’re not going to be selling expired food. Face it: You NEED to get rid of these cough drops before January. So, why don’t you drop the price to somewhere closer to $6.50, and then we’ll talk?
How can you compare this to Candy Corn these things are delicious they were $5 for 96 last time so this is even a better buy their individually wrapped they have some sort of syrup in the middle of the hard candy man they’re good
Brought these on my Asia vacation. With all the heat/humidty, then into too cold a/c cars and buidlings my throat was often sore. These are a life-saver and saved my vacation.
@cranky1950 and buying one bag at a time at regular price is not that much more expensive either. And save more when Target or the drug store puts them on sale.
They want to say “you can use them after the expiration date”, but they can’t, just on the off chance something goes wrong. But seriously, what expires in a cough drop? Does it denature or something?
Hard candies, which is essentially what these are, start to become soft and will stick to the wrapper (and your fingers) if they’re old, i.e. beyond their expiration date.
These Taste worse than the years-old mixed assorted hard candies, covered with cat fur, in the crystal dish next to great Aunt Mable’s sofa chairs with the vinyl covers you are not even allowed to sit on.
456 Ricola Cough Drops in a bag for sale on Meh
456 Ricola Cough Drops
You take one out and suck for a while
455 Ricola Cough Drops in a bag for sale on Meh on Tuesday in August and oh whatever this takes too long and nobody is singing anyway …
It might be fun to swallow all 456 of them at once to see what happens. I predict a slow, painful, minty, death but I would leave a glacially mintilly refreshing corpse. The coroners would enter the room thinking, “something smells delicious in here!” I mean how often does THAT happen?
Why 19 in a pack? Some capitalist overachiever was like “Hey boss, we can make 5% more profit if we sell 19 instead of 20!”; which naturally was greeted with much yodeling and fondues.
Ima pass on this one too. It’s going to be over 100 degrees where I live for the next week or so. I cannot imagine these surviving long enough to get back into a/c before they melt and stick to the wrapper (as noted above.) I mean, unless they are coming with an ice pack, like when you buy Godiva chocolates online. That would def make me change my mind…
Perfect timing for the beginning of the school year-- with the extra bonus of keeping kids from leaving my classroom to go to the nurse for a cough drop. Suckers (see what I did there?).

Baby arms!

Out with knives and flashlights. New Bluetooth rival
It’s all fun and games until you suck on enough of them in one go to have a stomachache.
Don’t ask me how I know.

@jsh139 that is the most vile shit I ever put in my mouth but I’ll be damned they do work.
@jsh139 this, as I say every time these go on sale

@RedOx they’re not for the faint of heart!
‘horehound“?
I barely new her !
I just finished the last ones. Fuck.
@carl669
@reclaimercube all of my boxes are still unopened. Am I Meh-ing correctly?
@TheOneAlex I started eating them like candy with my vape and coffee and let’s just say my mouth had a party
These are great, bought some a while ago, still have a shit load but at this price, I’ll have 3 shit loads.
With the number of mouth breathers here I would have thought these would have sold out sooner.

This year’s candy corn kind of sucks
@nolrak Actually, they work better if you suck on them.
And bonus, they’re individually wrapped, so chances are you might not get one huge lozenge.
@2many2no @nolrak Only if they were not individually wrapped. A melted together lozenge of 456 would be really impressive.

@denton I know some yogurt pretzels that would like to have a word with you.
@denton @therealjrn those were actually pretty good
@denton Don’t hold your breath. Thats what IRKs are for.

I don’t like these, I like the no sugar lemon mint ones.

Well, that’s Halloween sorted.

They’re always the stupid dual actions and not the simple original. Bah.

Hard candies, which is essentially what these are, start to become soft and will stick to the wrapper (and your fingers) if they’re old, i.e. beyond their expiration date.
I still bought 'em though.
“Ricola Cough Drops have a two-year shelf life if stored in a cool, dry place.” I doubt there are any real problems after the expiration date.
@SJSMeh But they’ve probably already been stored for 1.9 years.

“And that, friends, will be a mystery not even the great Scooby Doo can solve.”
Yeah, but if they were Scooby-snacks, I’d be all over them.

@thatsrightitsme
@thatsrightitsme somebody’s job is to taste 1 candy from each pack, for quality assurance.
I use the original flavor square-so-it-cuts-the-roof-of-your-mouth variety, and I don’t like mint.
Pass.
