For Pain/Fever "The new packaging is horrible! Absolutely horrible! I have tried several methods to dispense the product, and there isn't a good way! Plus, I am not convinced it is the same formulation. PLEASE bring back the old packaging! Been using Goody's for 40 years, and I am about to stop as soon as I can't find the other."

For Pain/Fever "I pulled the website to provide feedback. My sentiments are the same, I don't like the new package. More difficult to use, open. Contents spill everywhere. I am aware that money was invested in the new equipment, but a mistake has been made. Goody's user for 40+ years."

For Pain/Fever "I hate the new packaging. I feel like I'm getting ripped off too because I think I'm getting less product for my money. Then BC powders have now done the same thing. Y'all suck, and I hate your new packaging. Why would they fix something that ain't broken."

For Pain/Fever "We have used Goody's in my family for as long as I can remember. The packages were perfect the way they were, easy to use, and we had different ways to take them. But, the new to-go pack is garbage! They were always to-go packs. Please change them back! By the way, pretty old."

For Pain/Fever "Simply stated, I hate this new on-the-go package. Can't get all the powder out most of the time, and it's not as easy to handle as the sleeve. It also does not fit well in my old blue NASCAR container."

For Pain/Fever "I've used Goody's for many years and have always felt relief within 15 to 20 minutes. However, with the new on-the-go packaging, they don't seem to work as fast or give me as much relief. The new packs are very hard to get all of the powder out of, and it seems as if there isn't the same amount in them as the old packaging. I almost feel like using BC's because they still have the same type of package. I love Goody's for my pain but absolutely can't stand buying them anymore with the new ones. Please bring back the old packaging!"

For Pain/Fever "I have used these for many years! They are what works for me. I have recommended them to many friends and other individuals. This new package is ridiculous. Even worse, BC powders have done the same. Please go back, or I'll find something else!"

For Pain/Fever "The new packaging is the worst, and the product has changed and is very, very grainy, almost like crushed-up glass. It probably scratches my organs on the way down my throat. To the makers of Goody's, you screwed up!"

For Pain/Fever "I have taken Goody powders regularly for headaches for at least 28 years and am very upset that the company has changed the packaging, making it terribly difficult to open and to get the powder out, and that although they claim same formulation, it is not. The new formula is more flyaway and makes aspiration too easy. I will not continue to use this new formula."

For Pain/Fever "I have used Goody's for years just like all these other folks, at least 20 years. I too, however, hate the new package, not only is it hard to use, but they really seem like they have less medicine than before. Please go back to the old packaging."

For Pain/Fever "Have used these for years, only way to get rid of my migraines. Absolutely despise the new on-the-go packs. Anything but on-the-go. Can't get all the powder out without using both hands, and even then, it doesn't all come out. Please bring back the original packs!!!!"

For Pain/Fever "My husband is experiencing a psychological breakdown every time that he has to take a Goody's powder in its terrible new pouch packaging. All of the powder is impossible to come out, and while trying to get it all out, some of it gets inhaled right into his lungs. Please go back to the original packaging. Like others have already said before, if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

For Pain/Fever "I've used Goody's Powder for many, many years to help with my menstrual cramps, and they have always worked within a few minutes. Now, when I take one of the NEW POWDER POUCH (which I hate the design), it takes around two hours to kick in. So, I don't know if you changed the formula or you are putting less in that little pouch, but I NEED YOU TO GO BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS! FYI, it is not convenient but rather annoying :("

For Pain/Fever "Totally agree. The new Goody's packaging is a 'headache.' Tough to open and aim, makes a mess, tastes differently, less content, difficult to empty, and leaves you with two pieces of paper to throw away instead of one. Please bring back the original packaging."

For Pain/Fever "New packaging sucks! Have carpal tunnel. Four surgeries. Always relied on your product for relief. Now, have to find a pair of scissors to open the package. No more purchases from this fellow. Shame, love the stuff. Beats Tylenol and others. Called 'disgruntled' because I worked for the Feds for 30+ years. 'Disgruntled federal employee...' Retired... but still in pain."

For Pain/Fever "This new packaging was a terrible marketing plan. Did they even run tests with individuals to see if it was 'easier' to take as they claim? Because it is most definitely not! Goody's, read these posts! Cannot get the product out, if you can get most, it is very messy, not as much powder... Luckily, the little store in the college where I work has a box full of old ones. I think I am going to load up on those..."

For Pain/Fever "I have taken Goody powders for 20+ years. I don’t like the new packaging at all. I have experienced the same issues as many others. Cannot get it all out. I have decided to pour all of the new packets into old envelopes, and when those wear out, I am going to make my own out of wax paper. Not sure why anyone thought this was a good idea."

For Pain/Fever "I've used Goody's headache powder for 28 years now and love the powder, but the new packaging is horrible. What does come out gets flipped all over my face and down my throat trying to get it out of the package. Please go back to the original or find another method to make all of it easily slip out of the package and onto your tongue."

For Pain/Fever "I have used Goody's for over 30 years. Their effectiveness and ease of use have always been above average. I bought a 50-pack of Goody's. To my surprise, there was new packaging on the powders. I thought it was awesome until I tried taking the Goody's. The powder is hard to get out of the new tubes. It hangs in the bottom. Please consider changing it back to the folded-over paper. Or come up with a way to get the powder to release more easily."

For Pain/Fever "Been taking Goody Powders for 30 plus years. Love it! Works great on my migraines. The new packaging (tube) sucks! The product sticks in the bottom of the tube, and if you keep trying to get it out, the tube gets wet, and then you end up throwing half of it away. Terrible idea to change the packaging. Will have to find another product now. Really bummed out."

For Migraine "I have been dealing with migraines and hormonal headaches for over 20 years. I've tried all the prescription medications, which did nothing to alleviate the pain and nausea, which usually lasted for 4-5 days for me. Excedrin Migraine has significantly improved my quality of life. I was devastated when it went off the market for almost a year. I find the new ones an improvement. I am so thrilled, however, I'm concerned that I may be taking too many, which may cause liver damage. I take, on average, about 2-4 daily."

For Pain/Fever "I have taken Goody Powders for almost 35 years. It has always been effective and for the most part, always worked. However, I, too, as others before me have voiced, absolutely HATE the new packaging. I can never get all the powder out, and I too have compared the powder in the new pack to an original pack...and yes, the original pack contained a LOT more powder...so on top of the annoyance of trying to open the package, I feel like I am not getting my money's worth. Please consider going back to the original packaging. Thank you!"

For Pain/Fever "I HATE the new packaging! The texture of the powder is like finely ground glass. There is less powder in each packet; I have to take two. It takes too long to get the powder out of the packet; it doesn't slide out easily, and it gets stuck on the side. By the time I finally get some of it out, I am in worse shape because of the struggle. This is my last time purchasing a 'headache' for a headache!"
