minry80 Member # 8287	posted What is the deal with Halls cough drops in Egypt? I always used to take them when I was sick but here they are either eaten as candy or breath mints!
Black Rose Immortal Member # 10497	posted I have to admit, I eat them as candy and breath mints lol they are irresistable.

With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289	posted One day my husband hands me a pack of Halls. He smiled as if to say 'my gift'. I said 'I'm not sick'. He looked so confused. He took one out, popped it into his mouth and smiled. I said, 'does your throat hurt?' he said, 'what? no, why??' I said 'do you know what those are for?'...at this point he started to look a little embarrased. I said 'these are for if you have a sore throat or a nagging cough'. LOL I started to laugh so much and after that he always gets them for me if I have a sore throat and won't eat them as candy or mints anymore! ROFL, I kept asking 'why don't you read the package before you put something in your mouth??'
Jesus Cesar Member # 9153	posted Halls also have extra vitamins in them and that's already a good argument for me.

Second, people like walking around with medicinal smelling breath?

With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289	posted I always wondered about the medicinal breath too! If they are using it to cover bad breath, there are better ways than a Halls Mentholiptus (by the way MENTHO says it all).
Kerry Member # 6310	posted mmmhh the purple and red ones are the best

When i found out those mentholiptus halls i was eating them all the time like a child playing with new toys the day after Christmas . You're so surprised at first and then you can't stop playing, just like you are afraid of losing your toys.
LovedOne Member # 10222	posted The only difference between most cough drops and hard candies is that the cough drops generally have some eucalptus or menthol or some other additive. Aside from that, they're really just sugar candies.

7ayat- nefsi fe sobya Member # 7043	posted i love halls, always had them in my bag in egypt
LiveItUp Member # 4811	posted That is too funny, noticed it too. I don't think the taste is good at all with menthol and can't even suck on one when sick. I had a friend that carried a tin case of "Altoids" peppermint all the time with him" for fresh breath while out, the case is cute too. They are soo strong too. Me I prefer certs lifesaver types of spearmint but no, can't afind them here. I don't know how one likes the taste of the Halls..either.

Bombon Member # 9095	posted Ha bon merci grace a toi ce soir je ne vais pas dormir idiote
Madame M. Member # 8386	posted My husband bought a pack of cigarettes one day and instead of change the lady gave him two Halls cough drops. He hands me one of them and I give him this look like are you nuts? I told him I didn't have a sore throat so, no thanks. He thought they were candy. I explained that back home they are marketed for sore throats. He told me he saw a commercial for them and they were candy so he popped both of them in his mouth. Ugh!

Charm El Feikh? Member # 10243	posted i but a packet of blackcurrent tunes whenever i fill up with petrol????
With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289	posted ROFL OMG You cannot believe how I am laughing at this thread! LOL I see them give these Halls back with change at the stores too, as if it's something extra*. LOL When they give it to me, I think, 'why not give me a bottle of cough syrup instead'?
Charm El Feikh? Member # 10243	posted OMG OMG...... do you get tunes in egypt??!!!!!
With a name like Smuckers Member # 10289	posted what kind of tunes do you mean?

Karena Member # 9835	posted They do all different flavours, Lemon, blackcurrant & strawberry and I think they also do honey, I love honey hmmmm.
Learner Member # 9153	posted what is blackcurrant
Karena Member # 9835	posted Hi Learner Blackcurrant's are a very small round dark purple fruit, you can make juice with the fruit which is also delicious and full of vitamin C
Learner Member # 9153	posted thank you , good evening.
Snapdragon Member # 9036	posted OMG LOL that is so funny. I was just asking my husband why everyone in his law office eats those things like breath mints or fruit candy. I told him ...read the side of the pack...they are for sore throat. LOL He always comes home smelling like a Halls menthol.
