    Halls Cough Drops are OK. They make my throat feel nice for a while, but the sensation doesn't last long. You need to get a flavor you like, that makes a difference. Personally, I like the drops with menthol. Menthol gives your throat that minty like feeling.

    Your commercial on TV with the mother and young boy is the worst perverted commercial. Terrible for such a good product as Halls.

    These are absolutely putrid! They're too strong, and they would peel the paint right off of your picket fence!

    I like the cough drops Hall's offers, I use them as a throat stimulant and soother/moisturizer while singing. The problem I want to sound off about is the wrapping on each drop. I carry them in my pocket, and when they warm up, the wax paper-type wrapping sticks to the drop making it almost impossible to remove the paper from the drop without tearing it to sherds and then having to put it in my mouth to wet it enough to pick the paper off of the drop. I think they should go to the celluloid type wrapping, which other cough drop manufacturers use, and it never is a problem to remove from the drop...OK, I feel better...

    I must continuously have the monster of all coughs/sore throats if these generally work for the average sufferer.

    For all the men and women who question the use of halls, stop, it works. My wife and I have discovered that during oral sex, Cherry Halls out last other stimulants. Both sexes can enjoy the lasting and stimulating sensations. Cherry Halls have become almost an addiction, but it's enjoyable and comforting. Try it and see. Thanks Cadbury we love you.

    I myself am not crazy about the taste of any cough drop,but I must admit they do soothe the throat.

    I have a love hate relatinship with Halls! I absolutely love the taste, but I am completely addicted! I eat at least one pack every day, and when I don't have any left, I cave for them! I am totally hooked (if that's possible)!

    Taste is TERRIBLE! Just bought the cherry (my favorite flavor generally) and I couldn't even finish the first one I tried - I had to spit it out! Plain GROSS.

    i say this only because of the new sugar-free varieties made with malitol and sorbitol...these have a laxative effect on the body. just think about it- you're coughing pretty hard, and...ugh. I view this to be irresponsible and unnecessary, as the sweetener Splenda, a sweetener made from sugar, does not have this effect... maybe they didn't want to pay the extra two cents per cough drop, but i sure would. Also, i really don't think it's a good idea to give them to children either, even if the doctor says it's okay...he has no idea how your child will react to the sweeteners...some are very sensitive...and you don't need a sick child with diarreah...they'll get dehydrated and could face some serious health risks.

    I prefer not to take cough drops but if someone has a package of Halls I will suck on one. They seem to work if I have a minor sore throat. Definitely better than Ricolas.

    Although I have cronic allergies and didnt think I could live without halls to help me breath just enough to sleep. PLEASE DONT sleep with 1 and brush your teeth right after taking 1. I am now spending thousands of dollars to repair my teeth from this. My dentist told he is is rebuilding and well know Doctor's wife's teeth caused by halls as well having to depend on them to help her through her allergies. Im on my first 3 tooth bridge work and have 3 more sets to go and not counting the many many crowns. My dentist also says its very apparent its from that is this is sugar decay and I DO NOT EAT candy never did.

    they work good for sore throat and stuffy nose, but i am tempted to chew them instead of suck them.

    I sing in a rock and roll band. Smoke filled and down and dirty waysides and bars and such. These puppys are GREAT for taking the harshness out of the throat. 30 years and going strong. Honey Lemon, my friend is the best out there. If you have a cold, crunch one and let one melt in your mouth. It's like momma rubbing Vapo-Rub on ya. INHALE....What did you want from a cough drop? Count your blessings Grasshopper. It works for mem, after all...IT'S A COUGH DROP NOT A CURE!!! Thank you HALL'S!!!!! By the way, I played tonite....sweet!

    It really all depends on what flavor of Halls you are purchasing. The blues ones are usually way too strong and overbearing, but the cherry and honey-lemon almost always relieve my throat from irritation. If I am really sick, these cough drops do absolutely nothing for me...

    Now Halls are usually pretty good as far as effectiveness. Decent tasting, too.

    These are very good cough drops and really help clear my head and chest. They are especially helpful when it comes to chronic Allergy problems. The price isn't bad but here's a little tip incase you haven't already discovered it - CVS has their own version of these and you can get a jumbo pack of 100 for about 2 dollars. They are exactly the same as Halls in quality and effectiveness but for about 1/3rd less.

    These things will make your throat feel better, but only for minor sore throats. If you have a major sore throat, well... these things won't help much. But these things are definitely worth it for help with a minor sore throat, which you usually wind up with anyway, and they taste pretty good too.

    They are excellent for your throat. I get sick a lot in the winter, and all I buy is Halls. They make my throat feel better right on the spot. They are easy to chew on.

    Tastes okay. Soothes throat and helps to stop dryness. Helps alleviate coughing.

    Halls is not a good way to help you get over your cold. It tastes really sweet and it does not help relieve any discomfort at all. I find it addicting and not worth my money. I just pop them like candy.

    I really like Halls it does not taste bad. It does the job it's suppose to do and doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth. It's worth trying and you'll probably like it.

    When I am sick I stock up on Hall's because they really clear my head up. They also come in enough flavors that you won't get sick of just one. These are not cough suppressents, but they are definitely strong medicine. I like that they come in both bulk and small packs as well.

    Works very well. Probably better than any other cough remedies. Also, at a reasonable price. However, there are not very good flavors.

    Okay I guess but do people really think that these are that much better than Cherry Sucrets? I dislike their individual wax wrappers, and the name Mentho-Lyptus..
