"I have gotten an ocular migraine 5 times in my life. I haven't had one in 3 years, but today, out of the blue, I got one, and it was awful, it also had me vomiting, and I took some ibuprofen but couldn't keep it down. My friend had left her Goody's powder at my house, luckily, and I decided to try to take that. It tastes awful, but it worked in 30-45 minutes. Migraine gone."

"The only stuff I use for migraines. If I catch a migraine within the first hour, this stuff works every time. Basically, it’s like crushed-up Excedrin, but it is more effective for me. The only downside is the packaging. They need to redesign individual wrappings. It’s a white powder wrapped in a small paper wrapping with no text on it. I’m scared to carry one with me in fear of having to explain to the cops."

"I have used Goody’s since I was 18. I get migraines so bad that if I didn’t take a Goody before the migraine kicked in, then I have to sit in the dark, deal with nausea, and most importantly, miss time out with family. The migraines would get so bad that my head would be so sore. All of this was due to the depo shot. I tried a Goody powder and it was amazing that I could take one right when I felt one coming on, and it would stop it. Now not even two will touch my migraines. The taste is bitter, the package is not easily opened and not convenient at all. The other package they were in was so easy to take, and now you literally have to tap the pack to take it. They suck, and I have been taking them for over 20 years now. I won’t be buying them anymore. Sincerely, your unhappy ex-customer, Lilbit."

"I have used Goody Powders for 15+ years for migraines. I had tried over 100 medications that did not work, but Goody Powders did. With this new packaging, and I'm wondering if you didn't change the formula. I have to take 3 just to get rid of my migraine and get enough in my mouth! It's not easier, it's not better! Until about a year ago, I was lucky enough to find the old ones here and there, but that ran out, and now I have to use the new. Now I'm looking for something that will actually work since you screwed the pooch and changed the medicine."

"I have chronic migraines, so this is something I tend to use a lot, and I love it. The one complaint I see is about the packaging, honestly, I love it. I don't see any problem with it. I'm trying to figure out how all these people are somehow getting the powder on their face, and the only logical explanation I can come up with is they are holding the package about two feet above their open mouth? Honestly, if you can drink out of a bottle, then you can use the new packaging. It's literally super easy."

"Some changes are good, but this one is not good. Using this new package product is definitely not senior friendly. Recommend others not to support this product."

"New packaging of Goody's is the absolute worst! Doesn't come out easily, one time it scoured my face and nose, like I was a coke fiend! Please go back to the old package for goodness' sake!"

"Why, why did they change the packaging? So much more difficult to get at, a terrible idea. Go back to the drawing board, and leave it alone already!"

"I love Goody's. They take away headaches fast, but the new packaging is horrible. So much powder is wasted. I will not be buying Goody's until the old packaging is back. Not worth the aggravation."

"I have been a long user of Goody Headache Powder. In my opinion, it is the quickest and surest way to cure an annoying headache. I will say, though, that I despise the new packaging. They are not more convenient in the least and impossible to get all the Goody out of. Horrible decision."
