Ricola Sugar Free Mountain Herb Cough Drops with Stevia, 19 Count

These are great for cough suppression. They taste just fine too, no after taste. I keep them by my bed for when I wake up coughing like crazy from snoring or whatever. Since it is sugar-free I figure it's OK to go back to sleep with it dissolving in my mouth (I don't want cavities).

I am a big fan of stevia and when I discovered that "Mountain Herb" contained this natural sweetner I was hooked. The drops are a little pricey because of the stevia (my assumption), but they are the "best" drop on the market for my money. Well done Ricola!

I can’t have a whole lot of sugar and most cough drops taste horrible to me these taste wonderful and they work perfectly. but they’re so hard to fine Thank God they had them.

Last long time

Ye Been Warned!!!Do not, and I repeat DO NOT eat more than one of these things unless you’d like to experience the “Sugar Free Haribo Gummy Bear Effect”.I’m a touring musician and like to use cough drops on days where I have to sing. Played a gig last night and casually ate about 3 or 4 over the course of a 2 and a half hour drive to the gig. Unwrapped a couple more after we had arrived and ate them over the course of our sound check. Got back to the green room and ate another along with some hospitality snacks, but little did I realize the horrible mistake I was making. There was a storm a brewing.When dinner finally arrived, got up to fix myself a plate and that’s when I started to experience what I’m gonna call the “bubble guts”. A rumble in my lower abdomen telling me something was very wrong, my body telling me that I was to about to be punished for angering an unknown god. Was it the catering? Was I sick? Did I eat something spoiled? No it was these damn cough drops, I pulled the bag from my pocket and the forest green box reading “sugar free” taunting me as I had a revelation of my actions and remembered the horror stories I read about other sugar free snacks, specifically, the sugar free Haribo gummy bears. I flip the bag over to read the back and in very fine letters under other information read “excessive use may have laxative effect”… These cough drops are not candy and I was foolish to treat them as such. In that very moment after I had just fixed myself a plate, I dropped my fork and ran to the nearest bathroom.Just to my luck the stall in the men’s room was occupied and a flood was coming. I ran in a panic back to the hallway and saw that the ladies room motion light off. There was hope (and three empty stalls). I ran inside and good god I just barely made it. And to add insult to injury, as I sat writhing in pain, the motion light cuts out and the darkness of the bathroom engulfed my suffering. I waved my arms in a panic with no luck of trying to trigger the light back on and ultimately scrounged what I could for toilet paper to try my luck again in the men’s room. The stall was mine!!This is where it gets fun. Not only did I completely blow up the woman’s room from the short time I spent in there, that wasn’t even the worst of it. The floor gates really opened upon my relocation to men’s room. I had been gone from the green room for about a half hour and at this point, the first band had finished their dinner and were gearing up to get on stage. The whole first band piled into the bathroom for a pre-show pee and walked into my gas chamber. It was no longer my private shame. Some needed the stall and I shamefully got myself together and exited that stall a different man.I’m beyond grateful I was not the opening act for that night, because if I was, this would have been a completely different story, one where I would have ultimately crapped my pants tenfold on stage in front of a couple hundred people. I made 4 trips to the bathroom after consuming roughly 6 or 7 cough drops within a 3-4 hour period. I learned something that day and aim to use the sugar ones from now on.ONCE AGAIN, these are not candy and though they do taste fantastic and without a doubt absolutely help ease a scratchy throat, consume these at your own risk. God help you if you dare exceed the suggested amount.

Good value.

Great product.

Aspartame is not listed as an ingredient on the Mountain Herb packages that I purchased. Only stevia is listed.
