Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I wouldn't even belabor (argue or discuss) the point of having to shake the packet, try to take the product, see that half of it is stuck in the bottom, shake packet again, tear the packet down the side to get to the rest of the product. IF the formula were the same and the product worked as it did previously it might be OK but it isn't and it doesn't. No, it isn't psychosomatic on my part. Goody's has been the go to pain reliever in my house for 20 years or more and I have simply stopped purchasing them. Please bring the original product back."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "It is an awesome product and I have been using it for over 50 years. The new packaging is beyond horrible, can't get all the powder out or it get spill in the effort to open the new package. The incident which caused the change was not due to Goody."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Have used Goody Powders for ages. The new packaging is a disaster. You can't get all the powder out without cutting it open with a pair of scissors, and then it's a mess. Impossible. Please listen to your loyal customers and go back to the original packaging! If it's a matter of labelling the individual packaging, just print it on the old original packet."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I am 60 years old and have been using goodys for at least 40 years, This new packaging you guys have developed is terrible Hard to get in and since I have chronic neck pain I cannot get the product out! So I am switching to something else unless you go back to the original packaging"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have been taking goody powders for little over 30 years because they're wonderful for getting rid of headaches and other pains. I absolutely hate the new packaging on the go it's so hard to get all of the powder out and sometimes it doesn't come all the way out like the other person said in Tennessee it's humid and that's where I'm at. Please go back to the fold over Packaging"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Maybe the managers bought stock in Excedrin, that's the only reason I can see for such a universally hated change. It worked! I can just crush an excedrin when I get a headache, at least I'll get all I paid for - and not just wear it on my front"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Forced to get what little product one can before tearing the package in tweezer fashion and having to hit somewhere around one’s mouth with the remainder. What an absolutely asinine idea. Not worth the effort anymore..."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have used goody's for years. They work great. But the new packaging stinks. I can't get all the powder out without pulling apart and licking it. The old packaging was much easier. PLEASE go back to the old packaging."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Goody's is my go to for fast headache relief but the new sealed packets are terrible. There is nothing good about them. Goody's, please stop trying to solve a problem that isn't there. The folded paper is a perfect design. I'm sure it's even cheaper to make than the new sealed packs. The folded paper is much easier to dump into one location inside your mouth. These new sealed packets force you to shake and tap them to get the powder to fall out, which then gets all over the inside of your mouth and throat. Terrible idea! Everyone that I know hates these new packets too. Please go back to what has worked perfectly for the last 10+ years and leave it alone after that. There's no need to fix something that isn't broke. I would have gave a 10 star if it wasn't for the horrible new packets."

Goody's Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "By far your worst decision was to change the packaging. Did anyone ever test the new packaging before production? Apparently not. Something needs to be changed. New “ sticks on the go “ packets will remain on the shelf when I walk by. I’m done with them!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I take these for Headache/Backache/Arthritis. I am so sad & upset over the new packaging - been using it for a couple of months now & I don’t like it one bit better now then I did when I tried the first one. The powder goes Everywhere! Takes 2-3-4 tries to get it all in to your mouth & then you have a shower of residue down the front of your shirt! Not only is it a colossal aggravation but you look like a moron trying to take one in public & forget it altogether while you’re driving! Just a small note of interest.....My Grandmother knew Doc Goody personally in Concord, NC. During the Depression, Doc Goody hired her and another local lady to work at his home in the evening - after their hosiery mill shift - to sit & fold & package Goody powders for sale. She always spoke fondly of him & he gave her 4 kids some free medical care too. If this was done due to some kind of a safety concern, can’t you change the OUTER packaging & leave the inside packaging alone?"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Love 'em for my Lower back pain ! Fast and effective. Plus I like that it has caffeine in it for just a little extra pep at work. HOWEVER, I must echo the sentiments of many other posters on here: the Go-Packs are terrible!!! Sometimes I have to thump the pack really hard just to get all the medicine out. I prefer the simple, traditional wax envelopes MUCH, MUCH more!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "The new packaging is a complete FAILURE! I have had to cut a small piece of paper to carry with the product. I have to pour the contents of the stupid tube in the paper with great effort to get it out into the paper to take in the way that has always worked. As a long time loyal customer I beg you to fix this!!"

Excedrin (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Excedrin is my go to for headaches and general aches and pains. When it wasn't available for almost a year I tried everything else. Nothing works as good.. I even prefer it over some prescription medications for pain."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "My husband, father in law, mom, sister, brother, aunt, and myself can not stand the new to go packs. You have to beat them down to the bottom. Then you have to keep flipping the pack to get the bottom powder out into your mouth. Then still get upset because you miss your mouth. Seriously do you use your product. How can you not see how horrific it is. Please change them back"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I take prescription meds for my chronic pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia and migraines but my Goody's powders help boost my relief quicker and really help in between meds. I hate to be negative but I really despise the new packaging!! Please give us the option of one or the other. The folded paper is much easier for me to use! I have a very hard time with new packaging."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I hate the new Goody package. I thought I was the only one that noticed that they don't taste the same. My neighbor take them as well so I gave them to him. He sent them back and said he didn't like them. I have found the 6pack and 2pack at the Kroger in Mississippi. PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I am so happy to see that I am not the only one who hates the new packaging. Not only is it a pain to get the powder out it's not the same amount of powder in the new packaging as the old. I compared the contents of both and we are being duped. If I find the old packages at the gas stations I buy every pack that's available. Very unhappy longtime customer!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "As with most reviews I read, I am a loyal Goodys user for as long as I remember, lets just say 20++ years. I DO NOT like the new packaging, all of the medication does not come out you have to tap, wiggle and shake package and then you end up wearing part of it. I don't use them now half as much as I did, I have changed to Tylenol for the most part, you get a full dose with out the mess. Please change packaging back to the original."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I have used Goody powders and BCs for over 30 years. The new stick packs are awful. They are hard to get the powder out of... always some left in package. Also there is not as much in the new package as in the old. Not sure who you think you are fooling."

Excedrin Extra Strength (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "Took 2 every morning for 10 years. If I forgot to take it, I immediately noticed my aches and pains and general malaise. While hospitalized for 49 days I wasn’t taking it-I lost 17 pounds and had a normal appetite. A few weeks after returning home with no changes to my activities or diet I started taking 2 Excedrin again every morning within a few days I started gaining my weight back. I have again discontinued use and I am losing weight again."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "This medicine is the best. I have taken it for headaches, migraines, pains in foot and elsewhere throughout my body. Most of the time comfort comes in just a few minutes. Occasionally it does take longer or requires a second dose. Very rare though. I recommend if you are having to take these daily like I did to also get a stool softener as it can sometimes lead to constipation. Overall I take this instead of the Narcotics that doctors seem to want everyone to be hooked on. I only have to these every now and then now. I hope this helps someone looking for pain relief."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I was actually recommended this brand for a really bad toothache, since ibuprofen and other aspirins seemed to have no affect on me. I had instant relief within only 15 minutes and I could no longer feel the throbbing pain from the infected tooth."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) "I hate the new packaging and they don't work as well as they use to and cost more then ever. I've taken Goody powders for probably close to 30 years and they have always worked great. I get better results now if I take BC powder and take a Tylenol with them. WHY CHANGE SOMETHING THAT WORKED SO WELL."
