BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "Our family has taken BC powders for 30+ years ! Hate the new packaging! Please at least give both options. I know how to travel with the old package. The new packaging is hard to open and wastes the product! Please bring the old ones back. Don’t mess with a good thing."

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Pain "I’ve been using BC powders for the past 15 years. Never even considered anything else until now. New packaging is ridiculous. I don’t know if they changed the formula or not because I can’t get all of the medicine out of the package. I do know that I will not waste my money on the “new and improved” BC. Whatever company decides to fill BCs shoes is going to make a fortune. I’ve read dozens and dozens of unsatisfied customer reviews."

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "Please go back to clear individual packets! Long time user of BC powders and new packets will not fully release the powder! Extremely frustrating. Help! I can’t find old packages BC powders in any stores. Neurologist prescribed BCs to me 25 years ago, and these new packets with BC info written on them are no good. Please BC manufacturer try something else if you can’t go back to clear folded slips for BCs. Thank you. I rely on BCs, so please do address this."

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Pain "Let’s get right to the point these stick packs suck and are hard as anything to take , who ever came up with them needs to be fired as soon as possible. It is the same old game as ever - Corporation does a "Let’s fix what is not broke""

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "0 Stars for new packaging / 10 stars for effectiveness of medication for headaches. I just had to write to say the new packaging is terrible! It took me three attempts to get one dose into my mouth. Please, please go back to the original packaging. Thank you."

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Muscle Pain "Have been using BC Powders for over 20 years. Very rarely use any other type of pain reliever. However cannot tell you how disappointed I am with the new packaging. Old packaging worked wonderfully with little effort to dispense. Now I have to stop whatever I'm doing to tear off end of package, tilt head so far back, and still have to take a second hand to thump package to ensure power runs out of package. Easier to throw a couple of pills in my mouth now. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Michael"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Pain "The other packaging was more convenient...to label the new packaging as an on the go remedy is giving it more credibility than it is worth. I still use BC Powder because it works but it's almost as if the company is just trying to cut a few corners to save a couple of bucks and meanwhile it looks as if it's upsetting a lot of customers. Could you possibly be saving that much more money...? Just weird."

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "I have used BC for 40+ years it is the only thing that I have used for head aches and my dad before me so I rate the pain relief at a 10 but this new packaging is the pits I say 0 points need to go back to the old package much easier Thanks"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "I hate the new packaging- you can't get all the powder out- great for the company because I’m sure they’ll sell more to the customer as they need to use more packets. Bring back the old packaging- I’ve been taking them for 40 yrs"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "I have taken BC powders for many years but will have to seek an alternative. The new packages are horrible. It is like the powder is glued to the wrapper and will not come out all at one time. You have to keep tearing the package to get it all out and then it doesn't seem to be as much as in the folding packages. It is most definitely not for "on the Go" as it takes so long to get it all out of the package. I know you can do better! Let's admit it was a mistake and go back to the old packaging."

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "Before the introduction of the new packaging I was a loud and proud user of BC powders. It is all I have taken for headaches and body aches for 35+ years. I am not happy with the new packet. The powder gets stuck in there and I usually end up with it sprayed on my face. Sure it can be mixed with liquid as a drink but not if I am sitting in my car on the side of the road! Or in a public place. Please next time you want to make such a major change consult those of us who actually buy your products."

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "The people that designed the new package must never used the product to see if the packaging worked. Did the test it?. To use I have to shake down powder so I can tear along the long side and short end in order to pour it in my mouth without spilling all over my face and clothing. Poor decision!"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Pain "Have taken bc for years it was great. Then they trot out this new packaging. Did they try the package on people in pain or with arthritis especially in their hands? I think not because if they had they would not have changed it. Good bye bc"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Pain "I have taken BC Powder for 30 years for aches and pains. I have been a huge promoter of BC Powder over the years but will be looking for a different solution now because of the terrible packaging idea. There is no way you can get the entire dose out of the package. The reason the blue collar working man has made BC Powder a success since 1906 is the convenience, caffeine and quick relief it gives. We can take it while driving a bulldozer or flying an airplane. You screwed up with the new mode of delivery of your product. So disappointed!"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "The new packaging sucks the new powder is not the same it doesn't work at all. I wish you guys would quit changing everything. If you can't go back to the old packaging and old powder then I will find some other pain reliever. This is awfully sad"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "My husband has taken BC powders for 45 years, and I have for 35 years. If you keep this new style packaging I guess we will try another brand. The old style of folds wasn't broken, why "fix" it? It is hard to get all of the powder out, and what does come out goes everywhere! Please please bring back the old wrapper!"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "BC Powder is my choice of pain reliever. Generations of my family believe in the miracles of BC. We use it for everything; toothaches, headaches, body aches, etc. Now someone has created this funky little package that resembles water flavor packets. When attempting to take the dang thing it gets stuck at the bottom of the packet. It never fails, when I try and give it my famous tap to free it from the package (like I did the old package), the powder makes it way to my face, clothes, or eye! While most Junkies doctor hop, I am now store hopping, buying up all those individual packs for almost $3.00 per pack of two. Just shows how much I hate the new packets. I recently discovered an alternative way of buying the old packets in a much bigger quantity. This was a relief for me. Now I can have my miracle drug on hand, until the last one of those is gone. BC bring back the old packets, please."

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "I have been a fan of BC powder for years. However, I hate the new individual packets that are found in the larger quantity boxes. They are hard to open and you end up loosing 1/2 of the contents just trying to get it open. GO BACK TO THE OLD PACKAGING METHOD, THE SAME OLD SAME CONTENTS (WHICH WORKED) AND THE 2 AND 6 PACK QUANTITIES."

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) "This is my worst nightmare. I am a pharmacist and have used this product religiously for years and my parents before me. The new packaging makes it impossible to retrieve all of the powder. It has to be torn completely open to get every last bit. The effects are not the same either. I've had patients complain as well as coworkers. Such a huge disappointment and bad decision on the part of the company. Bring the old ones back!!!!!"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "I went online tonight to see if other people feel the same way I do about the new BC stick pack packaging & found that many people are in agreement . BC Powder manufacturer – please, please, please bring back the former packaging. I HATE these new stick packs. I am a chronic headache suffer & have been using BC powders as my go-to medication for over 21 years. I have always taken BC by placing it in the back of my mouth and not in liquid - You cannot do that and get all the product with the new stick packs. They're horrible!!!"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "BC powders are my go-to pain reliever for really tough headaches and muscle aches. Soon not to be, if not given option to chose previous or new packaging. New packets are cumbersome and time consuming...not worth my money. Please go back to old school wrapper!!"

BC Original (aspirin / caffeine) for Headache "I've been a consumer of B C Powder for more than 30 years. It was a great product, easy to use and quick results for headaches or pain. This new packet is a disaster when you attempt to put it into your mouth. Whoever designed this must have a major headache thinking that this is an improvement when it is just the opposite. You can't get it out easily and you loose so much of it attempting to get it in your mouth! So ridiculous to change what was a great design to a disaster design. I'll no longer use B C Powders until they change back to the original packet that was easy."
