Advantages: Nice flavour and they made my throat feel slightly better

Disadvantages: No medication involved, expensive there are better products about

I have a terrible tickly cough and a sore throat so I popped to my local supermarket for something to relieve the discomfort! I came back home with nurofen, lockets, soothers and strepsils. I have had a lot of problems with my throat in the past and last year I had my tonsils removed but every time I get run down or ill I end up with a sore dry throat.

Halls soothers cost between 38p- 50p depending where you buy them from and the flavour you choose. Mine cost 48p from Tesco the packet contains 45g, which are 10 throat sweets. The flavour I choose was peach and raspberry the other flavours I have seen are blackcurrant and cherry. I have tried the cherry ones in the past and liked those but I did not like the blackcurrant, as they tasted to strong for me.

Hall soothers are produced in a nice long tube shape so they fit easily into my handbag. There are two layers of wrapping the outer wrapper holds all the soothers together in a tube, which the individual inner wrapper keeps individual sweet, wrapped up so they do not get mucky or sticky.

Soothers are a hard-boiled sweet, which is designed to sooth sore throats. Inside the hard pink outer shell is a dollop of liquid the liquid is like a thick cool juice. The juice feels lovely as it slides down the back of your sore throat.

I like the taste of these they are cool and soothing on sore throats. I find them a little expensive and the price ranges a lot form one shop to the next. I do find after a few days the sweets become very sticky and the wrappers stick to the sweets.

There is actually no medication in halls soothers so although they seem to sooth my throat normal sweets like pear drops might do the job just the same. There is no guidance on the packet of the soothers stating how many you can take because there is not medication contained in the smoother. This means you can take other medication with soothers.

Overall, these are nice tasting sweets that have made my throat feel a little better but there is no medication inside so they are just a nice tasting sweet. Soothers and lockets are very similar but I prefer lockets as lockets contain vitamin c and eucalyptus.

Summary: Tastes ok but there is no medication!
