Halls Fruit Breezers Throat Drops Cool Creamy Strawberry 25 Per Package — 

I have suffered from severe sinus infections ever since I was a little kid. I get one about once a month, sometimes more. I always get an awful sore throat and I can barely swallow anything - so I'm stuck with cough drops.

I hate the fruity flavored mentholated ones - mint and fruit really don't mix. So I was stuck with the minty flavored mentholated ones which made it difficult to eat or drink anything since the mint flavor left-over in my mouth made everything taste awful.

When these came out, I was a little skeptical. How would they help with the pain if they aren't mentholated? Wouldn't it be the same as sucking on hard candy?

They're much better than candy. The pectin in them cools your throat much like menthol. However, they don't numb as well as menthol does so if your sore throat is really awful then you may opt for the mentholated drops. The fruit flavor is amazing.

The only thing that really irks me is that they're 20 cents more and you get 5 less drops than the regular halls. But it's worth it - better than sucking on mint flavored drops all day!
