Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


When I was a child and had the beginnings of a scratchy throat or dust cough, I remember my mother handing me a Pine Bros Honey or Cherry Softish Throat drop. They were a balm to my throat and a memory made to cherish.  My mother was the only person who knew what to give me when I had these little non serious ailments.

Upon popping the drop in my mouth I would let it slowly dissolve and it felt like the melting drop was coating my throat with something to stop the tickle or scratch and it was way better than those nasty throat sprays or prescriptions by the dreaded doctors.

The honey flavored were actually my favorite because to me the taste was like fresh honey from the jar just in a manageable drop without the stickiness and mess of jar honey.  I could really savor the flavor and even the aroma was like honeysuckle flowers!  The cherry ones were also good but more tart rather than sweet which made the product diversified having the contrast of the two. 

These drops were a staple in the house during those long winters and I was really disappointed when the company stopped distributing them around my teen years because hard candies and throat lozenges never really worked as well as these little gummy miracles for me. 

I was so pleased when the company came out again a few years ago with the original recipes and I was able to find the product locally.  Lo and behold, it brought back those wonderful childhood memories of mom and still works like a charm to soothe those silly little throat nuisances.  The honey still tastes fresh and clean and reminds me of straight out of the jar and the cherry still has that slight tartness that reminds me of a cherry tree on a spring day.

I say go out and buy them the next time you feel that little tickle in your throat that generally means nothing and try them.  They are awesome!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Strong, Functional Umbrella

This is absolutely the best umbrella I have owned in a long time!  It is functional and fashionable!  I bought the turquoise blue because I am so tired of the sea of black umbrellas I see every time it rains.  I wish more people would have bright colored umbrellas to brighten up those dreary rainy days.  But I regress... This umbrella is different from the moment you get it home.  You can see the difference in just the opening of it when you see the sleeve it comes in and the material the sleeve is made of.  The umbrella is made of that same material. It is thicker than your standard umbrellas you can see that and the material feel is soft yet durable. When you see the handle it has the auto open/close button and a wrist strap.  The feel of the handle is almost like those plush microfiber materials yet made of plastic.  It felt very comfortable in hand and did not slip. When you finally open the umbrella there is a black 'powdercoat' on...

Cute and Functional Desk Accessory

This is a really cute and functional product.  I got this flag for my desk for reasons of needing people to know when I am busy or not, in the office or not, have time or don't etc. It is printed on a very nice plastic and was easily wiped off when I got a little liquid on it before I installed it on the desk.  The metal clip is easy to use.  Just peel off the backing and position where you choose.  The flag clips in easily and holds sturdily and moves in a 360 degree fashion.  When I put the flag up it stays without falling. This item would be great for family reunions, tour groups, big corporate conventions, even for office accents in workers cubicles for a little touch of whimsy.  You can visit their website here at Deskflags.com and see for yourself their stock designs or if you want you can call them at 615-750-5972 or e-mail customflag@deskflags.com. #deskflags Disclosure: I received this product for free in exchange for an honest and...

Over the Rainbow - Stylus

Giveaway Service kindly accepted me to review this stylus set from Acid Labs LLC. I know many people may say that a stylus is a thing of the past, however I disagree.  Everyone's body chemistry is different and I have a very hard time getting  screens to react to my touch.  I am not sure if it is the temperature of my skin or what. That's why I need a stylus for my tablet and sometimes even my cell phone when i am relaxing and searching the web  These stylus are cool to the touch, lightweight and glide easily over the screen.  There was no drag while using them and the screens reacted very well to the fine point of the stylus.  They come very nicely packaged in a poly/vinyl plastic pouch with a zip seal closure and a metal grommet in the top. There was even a bonus of a small screen cleaning cloth to ensure the screen stays clear from prints or marks! This set would make a very nice stocking stuffer for your favorite tech junkie!  I know i s...
