Review: Ricolas are my favorite cough drop and candy and cure-all - I just want to say thank you to Ricola for helping me with all my throat issues. I also want to say that Ricola also helps with slight nausea or heartburn, which is often how I use it. It is also a refeshing tool in the summer when you want to cool off. The menthol is so delicious with the honey and herbal taste, I often just eat them like candy (because they are also way healthier than regular candy). The ingredients are very natural and sometimes I get lucky and get one that is extra menthol tasting and I love that treat. If you like mint, these are your best options out there!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this wrapper soft wax paper suitable for concerts?**
A: "Is this wrapper soft wax paper suitable for concerts?"  If you are concerned about noise at a concert, the wax paper is very quiet when it is opened.  It should cause no problem at a concert.

**Q: Is this FSA eligible?**
A: It might be a stretch depending on your situation.  If you are prone to pneumonia, have leukemia, or susceptible to colds, I think the govt. would 
have a difficult time saying no.   If you have a flexible spending account to take advantage of the tax benefits, then you must have other medical 
deductions which would show your need for this product.

**Q: Is this nut and peanut free?**
A: The ingredients for the Ricola Natural Herb Cough Drops make no mention of nuts and/or peanuts.  If you are still concerned, I suggest that you contact Ricola USA, 6 Campus Drive, 2nd Floor South, Parsippany, NJ 07042.

**Q: Does bag you received say 45 or 50 drops?**
A: Why has the count of cough drops dropped from 50 to only 45?
