What they don't tell you on the bag is that they have "improved" the packaging. Each drop now comes wrapped in a paper printed with one or more bits of encouragement. A PEP TALK IN EVERY DROP (tm), they call it.
- Flex your "can do" muscle.
- Seize the day.
- Dust off and get up.
- Push on!
- Don't give up on yourself.
- Let's hear your battle cry.
- Put a little strut in it.
- Put your game face on.
- Be unstoppable.
- Power through!
- Be unstoppable.
- Go for it.
- Hi-five yourself.
Really, Halls, all I need from you is a mentholated candy that will stop a coughing fit. I'll deal with my own positive attitude when I can breathe and speak, so just take your little wrappers and "Hi-five" yourself. I'm going to bed early

It almost seems like that packaging would be better suited to Prozac losanges than cough drops. How truly, truly odd.
Pretty presumptuous if you ask me.
I know what I'd tell Halls, and you know it, too. The last thing I want when I'm sick is to be told by a piece of paper to suck it up.
I rarely do cough drops. I tend to grab black licorice to coat my throat. I would be writing creatively to the Halls company about a number of suggestions. And there would definitely be fang bait with the name Hall or something.
