Advantages: they really work

Disadvantages: they are quite expensive

It's usually at this time of year that you think you're doing well to have avoided a cold when all of a sudden you feel a little bit of soreness towards the back of your throat. You dismiss it as something else and forget about it, then three days later you've got what feels like a red raw throat and if you're really unlucky, the sniffles to go with it.

I've tried lots of different throat sweets to help get rid of that horrible feeling, especially before bed, and these are by far the best. They don't taste of your favourite sweets, which is a good thing because it makes you feel as though it's actually working, and the medicinal aftertaste lingers for long enough to relieve you of your pain. The blackcurrant flavouring does ease the eating process however.

These will numb the pain, but they may also leave you a little dizzy after you've paid for them. I've paid in excess of £3 for these beauties, which is a LOT of money really considering you can get a packet of soothers, for example, for under 1/6th of the price! The guarantee with these though is that they WORK, and WILL help you.

The packaging is clear and well designed. This won't be found with the sweets, as tunes and soothers often are, which again gives you the impression that these bad boys mean business. The packs usually have a number of plastic "trays" in them that the sweets are in and you can tear off a set of three to take away with you for the day. They are held in my foil.

I would recommend these to all of you, if like me you are suffering with a horrible cold at this time of year!

(also , just seen an advert on the right, you can BUY strepsils on AMAZON!?! crazy!)

Summary: an excellent way to ease your throat pain!
