I'm (cough) just wondering a few things about your products (sniffle). You see, before I had diabetes, I had many, many wonderful choices of cough drop flavors to help me get through a cold or even to ease the pain of a scratchy throat (blow nose). Now, though, I'm limited to a very few, select flavors in your sugar-free line.

 

(sneeze) And while we're on the topic of your sugar-free line, can you kindly explain why there are fewer cough drops per bag than the sugar-filled variety? Why (sniffle) do I have to pay the same amount for fewer pieces of relief? (cough) Furthermore, can you tell me why the "value pack" of your regular variety has 80 drops and the "value pack" of the sugar-free drops has only 70 and I pay the same amount (coughcough)?

 

I mean, seriously, do you think that people who choose to take the sugar-free variety don't need as many cough drops? Do you think that we don't notice the difference in the packages? Do you think we're not jealous of our non-diabetes friends and family who get cherry and strawberry and tropical fruit and we're stuck with black cherry, mountain menthol and kiwi-berry? Sheesh.

 

OK so I checked your web site and your selection is pretty good, (sniffle), but where are my other 10 cough drops? Why, oh why, do I have to pay more for less? And when I'm sick, too!! (coughcoughsniffle) Please forgive me for not making much sense... I am sick, you know.

It's really quite simple: NutraDeath costs more to produce than High Fructose Corn Syrup, and it's not covered by government subsidies. The extra cost is therefore passed on to the consumer.

Black Cherry is my favorite. Eat them all the time. Never noticed the smaller count.


Awwwwwwwww...I never picked this apart before. Hope you feel better SOON!
