Last weekend, I woke up with a terrible sore throat. Like a lot of busy moms, I rarely go to the doctor when I’m sick, but this time it was bad enough that I seriously considered going. Fortunately, I had just received some packages of Pine Bros. Softish Throat Relief drops to review, so I decided to give them a try!
HISTORY OF PINE BROS.
Pine Bros. was started in 1870 by Herman Pine. If you don’t know the name, it’s probably because Pine Bros. popularity peaked in the 1970s, after having been sold to the Life Savers Company in the 1930s.
After the 1970s, Pine Bros. was sold by Life Savers and acquired and resold to a number of other companies.Just recently Pine Bros. was acquired by the owners of Airborne. Much time was taken to find the original packaging and use the original recipe. This product is also now made entirely in the United States.
Pine Bros. drops are different than other sore throat drops – they are a “softish” consistency, somewhat like a gummy bear. I will admit that the texture did take some getting used to, and although it’s tempting to chew the drops, the directions suggest you just let them dissolve in your mouth. The unique natural formula of plant glycerin and gum acacia coats and soothes your throat without numbing it. After 2 drops I did get relief from my sore throat, and fortunately, my sore throat resolved on its own within a day or so. The drops definitely helped relieve the discomfort.
Pine Bros. Throat Relief Drops come in a variety of flavors including Licorice, Lemon Lime, Wild Cherry, and Natural Honey. They are recommended for adults and children 3 and over. Pine Bros. drops are made in America and have been since 1870.
As the weather turns cooler, hopefully you and your family will stay well, but if you’re like me and get hit with the sore throat bug, I recommend giving Pine Bros Throat Relief drops a try.
