I really like how I did not notice that each Halls throat thing is 15 calories each! Lets just say there are 30 in a bag and I have probably eaten over 20....They aren't even working...My throat still feels like its being ripped up by a grizzly bear. [face-palm]
Anyone else having one of these moments today?

Yes my guess too. They have sugar free ones and I am going to go on a hunt for those kind once i finish this bag. They just seem too small to have 15 calories...5 calories would be reasonable not 15.

Riiicoolaaa.
Actually my favorite thing for sore throats is tea. Either Throat Coat or Slippery Elm Bark tea. They make your throat feel fabulous.

I always use Cepacol. They should sell them at your local pharmacy - one works for like 3-4 hours. Or if it's really bad, talk to your doctor about a prescription for liquid lidocaine. That stuff will work wonders - I had H1N1 and the worst sore throat of my life (couldn't even swallow water, it hurt so bad) and the lidocaine made life much more livable.
Feel better!
Roxy i didn't know that. I guess it makes sense. This is my first time i have had these in probably a year. I don't get sick very often but when i do, its bad. Luckily its just my throat and my ears today.
meg- this is only day 2 of soar throat an im oot at my FIs house so i have to wait until i go back home.
Or you can call your doctor - they'll call in that prescription no problem usually. It's not exactly something people would abuse - it tastes nasty, and all it does is numb your throat.

Either way, feel better soon!

Watch your ass (er, literally) if you do. Most sugar free candy and I'm guessing Halls would be the same, has a warning that consuming too much will cause a laxative effect.
Hot tea with lemon, honey and a drop of whiskey!
I hope you start feeling better soon, it stinks to be sick in the summer! Especially if you're dealing with the extreme humidity like I am.
