Cough Sweets

[Marggie]

Is it possible to buy menthol & eucalyptus or similar cough sweets here and if so what are they called? Both of us have really bad colds and coughs and could do with some soothing sweets.

OLIPS in the blue packet are menthol and eucalyptus and are available in most supermarkets and village shops.  You should also be able to get STREFEN (similar to Strepsils) at most pharmacies - they are honey and lemon flavoured with the addition of an anti-inflammatory (flurbiprofen).

Guessed I was leaving my self open to such comments lol  .   Funnily enough I have KKOB, our friends who went back to the UK to live recently left us some - he was "addicted" to them!!  Thanks guys for feedback.

I nearly choked once on one of Uncle Joe's Mint Balls.

Its this time of year when a lad like I, turns from boiled sweets of the summer like pineapple chunks, rhubarb and custard, pear drops, sherbet lemons etc. to the trusty winter warmers like Army and Navy Tablet (can you still call them tablets in this day and age?) Cough Candy, Cloves and if only you could get a quarter of Hacks  ... could sooth the throat and nasal passages (lol) of a forty a day Capstan Full Strength smoker.

I was sent to get fizzy drinks in Morrisons and well remember kola cubes - a sweet named after the drink. Morrisons now do kola cube flavour fizzy drink - a drink named after the sweet, named after the drink.

Won't help your cough though
