Active ingredients: Menthol: 8.3 mg (cough suppressant)
Temporarily relieves cough due to minor throat and bronchial irritation occurring with a cold or inhaled irritants
Ask a doctor before use if you have:
Persistent or chronic cough such as occurs with smoking, asthma, or emphysema
Cough accompanies by excessive phlegm (mucus)
Stop use and ask a doctor if cough persists for more than 1 week, tends to recur, or is accompanied by fever, rash, or persistent headache. These could be signs of a serious condition
Keep out of reach of children
Directions: Adults and children 6 years or older: Dissolve 1 drop in the mouth. Repeat every 2 hours as needed.
@AnnaB I don’t see how that is possible… I bought them the last time and I gave a bag to every family member at Christmas and they all think I’m weird and I still have like 8 bags left
These expire in less than a year. There is zero chance I can use 456 cough drops in that timeframe.
So what does the expiration date actually mean in this case? Do they go stale or is the cough suppressant just less effective? Or maybe the date is kind of BS to begin with?
I bought the large pack on Meh the last time, and then more on Morningsave. These drops are great at cough suppression and opening up sinuses, and at best price yet, and I will get some more tonight.
Not too worried about shelf life, since they are tightly wrapped in their little individual pouches, and I don’t think the essential oils can escape too far.
@jeffcohen I put 10 sets in my cart before I got tired clicking, but I’ll settle for 3 sets total. So you are correct, they must have a shit-load of them.
Free shipping (VMP) and no tax (surprising, since I believe my pharmacy taxes cough drops), so I am happy with the cost.

… I bought the last batch and let me tell you… If you don’t have a cold, if you don’t have a cough and take one of these things they will screw you up once you crack open that center… What a rush… It’s like downing a frozen pint of ice cream at once… it won’t give you a brain freeze but it will definitely make you think you’re at the antarctic and you just crammed your mouth with snow…
Dollar Tree had boxes for $1. The honey and citrus flavors were available early January. I recently saw the same boxes at CVS for $8-10. I think they have all sold out at Dollar tree by now though. What a huge difference in price!
I’d laugh at how silly this deal is, but my fiance coughed her lungs out for like a month. I think this deal might be a life saver for her, and me catching up on much needed sleep.
hey @meh , get me a good deal on Wax Melts, they are my new obsession, nothing that smells like food please. My meditation chamber smells like lavender and cedarwood, and I’ve never been happier.
Fun fact: Sugar melts snow. Don’t use these to decorate your snow man. Unless you’re going for some kind of creepy, sunken-eyed snow man with yellow-stained tunnels where the drops used to be.
@walarney Less fun fact: Sugar melts snow much worse than salt does. Don’t use these to decorate your sidewalk, unless you like slipping and falling on mentholated pavement.
I wonder what the expiration date is for these. I live alone and I dont think I could finish these in a year. Good deal if you lived with a lot of people though.
I could have used two orders of these last year when my blood pressure medicine caused chronic coughing! LPT, if you are coughing for no reason, check the side effects of your medications!
“…someone who weighs 150 pounds (68 kg) would likely have to eat more than 6,800 cough drops containing 10 mg of menthol in a short period of time to risk the chance of a lethal overdose.”–healthline.com
The gf says she likes a different Ricola flavor. So I bought these instead. Let’s see how she feels about them next time she’s sick…

Love these things
when does fun stuff return to meh?
needs a popehat.
This is so dumb it’s tempting
@reclaimercube
Really tempted to get one and just put them out at work.
@BuffBillsFan I want to put them all in my mouth
Bought these the last time they were here and I’m almost out. Perfect timing.
@AnnaB I don’t see how that is possible… I bought them the last time and I gave a bag to every family member at Christmas and they all think I’m weird and I still have like 8 bags left
@AnnaB @netopia yeah I’m with you still way too many to purchase again.
I’d have to take up smoking just to acquire a smokers cough to justify this purchase
@nolrak adopt a child in preschool. You’ll be getting sick all the time
@nolrak @OnionSoup can confirm have been sick for 2 years straight.
I would have purchased these if they were the mixed berry flavor, but since they are not I won’t.
@heartny you’re speaking reasonably. Are you on the right website ?
@reclaimercube I was testing to see if anyone was paying attention
I’d hate to see the refurbs
@nolrak oh man you beat me to it…
@nolrak @sippinndippin …me too!
This is pure evil. I bought 5 bags from the previous sale and I’m on the last one. They’re too good. Now I must have more.
Also this is purely anecdotal but they seem to help my stomach too.
@cpierce It’s probably the peppermint, which Elder-folk used to use readily for stomach upsets.
My wife has a cold. Can these be expedited for Valentines?
Nothing says LOVE like a husband trying to take care of a sick wife.
@hchavers And being mediocre about it at the same time.
These expire in less than a year. There is zero chance I can use 456 cough drops in that timeframe.

@TBoneZeOriginal Since mint and menthols are volatile oils (hydrocarbons), I would guess that gets less intense/strong over time.
@TBoneZeOriginal if you can’t manage to suck down roughly 1.3 of those a day, you’re not trying hard enough
@mike808 @TBoneZeOriginal
I think they turn you into a monster like those Goosebumps books.
@TBoneZeOriginal They melt and fuse into one big monster cough drop.
@nolrak That’s what I told your mom.
@TBoneZeOriginal zing!
@nolrak @TBoneZeOriginal
The word you’re looking for is …
Are these the new candy corn?
@JT954 I still have a bag of the old candy corn
@JT954 - Maybe they’re the new Sweethearts?
So meh.com is just a morningsave rehash?
They’ve been there for a while:
(I see they are locked at the moment)
I FEEL LIKE I’M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!
@RedOx Duh.
I still have cough drops I bought last winter. Too many cough drops.
Too many…How about 228 for $10.00?
Let’s make a Deal!
@mfladd Yeah, I might buy half as many…
Horehound? Sold!

@dj_m I think that picture is of a whore hound.

I think it’s probably a “sell by” date rather than an expiration date. I’ll take a chance.

I googled to see more about menthol’s anesthetic qualities and found this:
I just have to figure out how fishes reported the results.
Awesome.
At first I thought this was a bar of soap, based on the photo. So if these cough drops were really soap would you then cough bubbles?
I bought the large pack on Meh the last time, and then more on Morningsave. These drops are great at cough suppression and opening up sinuses, and at best price yet, and I will get some more tonight.
Not too worried about shelf life, since they are tightly wrapped in their little individual pouches, and I don’t think the essential oils can escape too far.
Allowing us to buy 20 sets of 24 bags of 19 cough drops? One can only imagine how many of these they need to move.

@phendrick
That’s the sixth giphy I tried – disappointing – giphy is stuck on “entertain” and no “kettle” in sight.
Fisherman’s Friend is the real deal - definitely not candy, but they actually work on coughs:
They even knock the edge off a mild asthma-induced cough.
@RedOak Hmmm…You made me look them up.
@RedOak there is literally nothing better. If they were selling a 464 pack of these I’d buy three.
@mfladd @RedOak they might work, but they taste fucking vile.
@RiotDemon
… and perhaps that is part of their effectiveness.
.
(Actually, I wouldn’t put them in the vile category. They simply aren’t candy. They’re more like the medicine flavor matching their effectiveness.)
@RedOak I think these only work if you’re a master baiter
16 x 28 + 8 = 456. Checks out. Hey meh, stop making me check your math.
@mothmer $1 for each 24, so a tiny bit over 4 cents per drop.

A shame these aren’t sugar free. I’d jump on them if they were.
@slightlyevolved that would make them all broken and crumbly.
Oh man. Don’t make me cancel my membership. It’s been a truly meh run.
I already cancelled mine last week…
What you feel after more than hundred ricolas…

Yeah I think these remind me of the Panama papers sickening… what do you want from me? it’s cough drops I get a lazy day also.

These make great suppositories, They melt nice and slow…
@Bumplepimp I’m guessing they can’t be reused as a lozenge afterwards though.

dont like this flavor.

@clux92 Best By date is 1/31/2020
I doubt they are going to expire, in that they won’t go bad. They are mostly sugar.
I am going to store mine in an airtight container, not to keep them from going bad, but it keep from attracting ants.
Halloween candy for the Trick or Treaters
Just kidding I wouldn’t recommend that.
