Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
I don't know about you, but with the cold weather in MN, having lozenges handy it's a must. I stacked on different kinds, and different brands, but I have not tried Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops before. First of all, I was quite impress with the generosity of the company that sent me more than one pack to sample. As you can see in the picture I got eight all together. Second, I was really moved by the story of Pine Bros throat drops. This is how it goes:
In 1930 Pine Brothers was sold to the Life Savers Company and continued
to flourish. Known for its 'soft drop consistency,' Pine Brothers
lozenges became a favorite of adults and children alike. The product,
which attracted healthiest sales in the eastern and northern states, due
to its icy winters, reached its peak popularity in the 1970's. The
company was sold by Life Savers, and then, having been re-sold and
acquired a number of times, found itself essentially rudderless and
under appreciated; this despite a legion of loyal consumers. Cost
cutting changes were made to the original recipes, packaging became
stale and marketing non-existent; Pine Brothers began to be made
overseas. Sales declined.
Recently, Pine Brothers was acquired by the creator and former owner of
Airborne, Victoria Knight-McDowell, for her new company 3 Sisters Home
Products™. Much time and effort has been spent locating the original
Pine Brothers recipes, redesigning the packaging, and creating an
exciting yet classic new look. The natural product is once again being
made in America, and is launching nationally in fall 2011. At which time
old Mr. Pine, will succeed once again in "making people happy." God
bless him!
I am excited to review and promote Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops. The moment I opened the box, a sweet aroma of honey touched my senses. I didn't have a sore throat when I tried them, but I couldn't stop at one drop, I got the second one right away. The taste was unlike any throat drops I ever tasted. The only thing that makes you remember it's for treating a sore throat is the package. You would just indulge yourself in the flavors of Natural Honey, Wild Cherry & Black Licorice. Pine Bros drops are hard at first touch, but soon they become gummy in your mouth. They don't stick to your teeth which is really nice too. They are gluten free. Give them a try, you won't regret it. You can find them on their website
www.pinebrothers.com, or on
Amazon.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using
Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
