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 used Goody's for 20 years. The new packaging is awful. Powder gets stuck in the corners of the package. When you tear it open, then you are stuck with 2 pieces to throw away. I have been looking for other medicines to stop buying Goody's. Change it back."

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 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!"

For Pain/Fever "I despise the new packaging! Please go back to the way it was! Simple and easier to take the medicine before, now you have to tap, shake, and do whatever else to get all of the medicine out! I'm certain I have thrown away 10% of the medicine that's left in the new packaging because it won't come out, please return to the old packaging."

For Pain/Fever "Have used the product for 20/25 years, love Goody’s and use it daily. New on-the-go packs are terrible. Bought B/C, but now they have on-the-go packs as well. Made in the same facility??? Please bring back the waxed paper fold. Btw, if you place the powder under your tongue, you taste nothing. Goody’s, your spokesperson Richard Petty would not be happy with the new pack. Please go back or offer both to consumers. Thank you."

For Pain/Fever "The new packaging is the most annoying thing ever and hope Goodies find the drop in sales as an indication they have to go back. I've used it for years, always keeping a pack from a convenience store in my wallet as a backup and am now looking for a replacement. The powder now gets everywhere, and I had thought it was the loss of powder that stopped it from working as well but now wonder, as others do, about the change in the powder itself."

For Pain/Fever "'Go take a powder.' I heard this in movies and in the South. I found Goody's a couple of years ago. Instant head and body ache relief. Loved the little gum wrapper doses. Then they changed to their new 'On The Go Stick Packs'! What a worthless, terrible, inconvenient way to package such a great product. You tear one end and try to pour it in your mouth, but most gets stuck in the back of the little plastic infused paper pouch. You must flick and jiggle the pouch, spraying contents all over your face and clothes. I sent them an email, and the response was pathetic. I have not bought any since. Excedrin is the same ingredients. Just chew them up so they work fast. Bye Bye Goody's."

For Pain/Fever "I really like Goody powders, but hate the new packaging. It's harder to swallow. Thinking of buying something different. Hate to change, but don't like getting choked or not being able to get all the powder because of packaging. You should really consider your consumers."

For Pain/Fever "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 spills in the effort to open the new package. The incident which caused the change was not due to Goody."

For Pain/Fever "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 labeling the individual packaging, just print it on the old original packet."

For Pain/Fever "The medicine itself is great. The sealed pouches can go straight to the bin! Whoever decided to change the individual packets should not only be fired, but should also be put in prison for 9 days! Minimum! Ok, 4 days. By the way, I'm switching to BC headache powders immediately and urge everyone on the planet to do the same and never ever use Goody's again. You should have changed the name to... Goody luck getting the powder out of the packet, fool. Stupid! Quality control, anyone?"
