Riiiicolaaaa...
The package tells me that if I have a sore throat due to a cold, I should dissolve a Ricola Swiss Herb Cough Drop slowly in my mouth. Repeat as often as I feel it necessary. Well, I was eating them like candy until I read what was in each organically-grown-in-Swiss-mountain-areas Ricola. There is a 3.2mg herb mixture of horehound, speedwell, ribwort, thyme, mallow, burnet, marshmallow and parsley piert. Now I envision a group of witches with big black hats stirring a cauldron of bubbling herbal potion, coating each lozenge with ribwort and horehound, whatever those things are. Yikes, maybe that's why I'm addicted!
Oh well, the non-medicinal ingredients brought me some reassurance: sugar, glucose syrup, caramel sugar, natural flavorings. Phew, comfort food. But not a drop of cola to be found. Hmmm....
