Lockets Cough Sweets

It must have been the rain this morning and the cold weather but when I woke up this morning I had a wicked sore throat to go along with my blocked nose and cold so on my way to work the first stop was to buy two packets of honey and lemon lockets. There is a recommended dosage which I will get to later but I find that two packets for a day works quite well. Lockets are my favourite throat sweets by far as I find they really help. Lockets are made by the Mars corporation. They are sold in distinctive yellow packets with 10 sweets in each packet. Each sweet is then individually wrapped. The sweet itself is a hard, boiled type sweet. It is ...  Read the complete review

Having spend half the night awake with a sore throat and barely being able to swallow, I decided to get some Soothers throat sweets this morning. Popping into Spar, I could only find blackcurrant or cherry flavoured Soothers, so settled for Honey & Lemon flavour Lockets. Honey & Lemon isn't a favourite flavour of mine, but it's better than cherry or blackcurrant. I've never really gone for the Lockets brand, but they'd got the nicest flavour out of what was available in the shop. Lockets are medicated lozenges to help sooth your throat and clear your nose. There are 10 lozenges in a pack and each lozenge is wrapped separately. As soon as I ...  Read the complete review

My youngest daughter has had a lot to cope with the last few days - not only is she sitting her A levels but she's also been quite poorly. Her symptoms were too numerous to mention but yesterday she was diagnosed with a viral infection plus tonsilitis (which, I believe is going around with a vengeance here in the north west). When she first complained of having a sore throat I gave her the usual painkillers & advised her to drink loads of fluid thinking it was due to dehydration during the hot spell. She then developed a cough & asked for cough sweets so I bought 2 packs of Lockets Honey & Lemon which cost 79p each from our local ...  Read the complete review

Around this time of year it is very common for colds and flu`s to kick in with people and although I am a great believer that you have to let them run their course and that all the medicines you get for them are as good as useless there is one thing I reach for every time the symptoms of a cold start. Along with the runny noses coughs and sneezes invariably comes the dreaded sore throats and this is one thing you can do something about with the help of Lockets. Lockets cough sweets come in two flavours, Blackcurrant and Honey and Lemon, both are very nice but Blackcurrant is my favourite. Lockets are double action cough sweets although for me it is ...  Read the complete review

As I recently wrote a review for Halls Soothers, I think that it's only fair that I take a look at rival product 'Lockets', which are made by Mars. As my sore throat is now much better (thanks Soothers), I have a small stock-pile of throat lozenges left - one of which is a packet of Lockets Honey & Lemon flavour. Lockets cost 39p for a pack of ten sweets from Tesco. The product claims to "help clear your nose & soothe your sore throat", and contain "real honey, menthol, eucalyptus and vitiamin C". Compared to Soothers, Lockets are cheaper - equivalent to 3.9p per lozenge, in comparison to Soothers 4.8p. The Taste - - ...  Read the complete review
