Luden's Cherry flavored cough drops. When I was a
kid I used to eat these things like candy.
Smith Brothers also made a cherry cough drop, but
I liked the Luden's slightly better. The cough drops
were one of the few sweets/candies that I ate when
I was a kid.
I got to wondering the other day just what I had
been putting into my body during those years eating
those cough drops. So I looked it up. According to
one source the cherry form of the drops contain pectin.
Other ingredients include "citric acid, soybean oil,
ascorbic acid and corn syrup. Coloring is added with
the dye FD&C red no. 40. Other inactive ingredients
include sucrose, flavors, malic acid, sodium chloride
and sodium acetate."
Well. To the best of my knowledge none of that is
anything that would cause a brain aneurysm or whatever.
So I guess I lucked out.
Sitting on my desk right now is a pack of Western
Family Cool Cherry Eucalyptus cough drops. I've
been using them to cut down on the smoking. But
to be honest, I'm still eating them like candy.

But I hope you are not smoking anymore :yes:
both my kids like them,I always have a hot tea with honey instead…somehow I can see you eating them like candy! :lol:small pleasures my friend…… small pleasures! :up:
PSsomehow they remind me of nipples! 😀 maybe that's why you like them that much! 😀
I used to do the same thing, Edward, eat the Luden's cherry cough drops like candy. They were more a throat moisturizer, I guess, while the Vicks Cough Drops had the camphor or eucalyptus in them, and I didn't like them as much. Not familiar with your brand now. I use Claeys Hard Candies, Horehound Candy for cough drops. It's an herb used for sore throats and respiratory conditions, and it does more to stop my cough than any other lozenge. And I love them. They taste like honey to me.
@ DarkoWell the plan now is to keep smoking, seeing as it's not screwing up my heart more than it is now. But it's getting way expensive. So I'm trying to cut down. @ AngelikiNipples! Big hard red (sore?) nipples!And I'm sucking on one right now. 😆 😆
No, although I like Ricola, too. It's Claeys Hard candies, and they reproduce the old, old hard candies. Horehound candy has been around for centuries and this company is the only one I know who still produces it. They also have lemon drops, rootbeer flavored, and wild cherry, maybe a few other flavors. The only place I can find them on a regular basis is Hobby Lobby. Occasionally they have a display in the grocery store, or drug stores. White bags.
Hmm. I've never seen those. You know it's difficult to find rock candy. When I lived in Indianapolis there was only one place you could get it. Otherwise you had to get it in Nashville (that's Nashville Indiana).
@ Linda. Those Clays, are they kinda like that Ricola stuff?

Here's a picture of the bag, Edward.
Cool! :up:
Never was one to eat hard candy but I did like the Luden's Cherry Cough Drops whenever I was sick with a soar throat. I used to give them to my kids too but someone told me they were bad and destroyed the vocal chords and that I should only use Ricola. Never did check that out if it was true or not.
same here Pam,the only candy I ever loved was "tic-tacs" 😆 tiny in the mouth, and very refreshing! :up:
