For Pain/Fever "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."

For Migraine "I had the worst migraine of my life for three days. I felt like I'd tried everything possible. Nothing touched the pain. It was blinding. My husband brought me the Goodies powder. It was awful tasting, but within a half hour my migraine was gone. It's a miracle. I'm grateful."

For Migraine "WHYYYYY was the packaging changed. Worst mistake ever...They were "on the go" packs in the first place. Horrible decision. I also have to take 2 instead of 1 now. Just ridiculous all the way around. Change is good but not for Goodys."

For Pain/Fever "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."

For Migraine "I have used Goody's powder since I was 14 years old. I am 63 years old.they just came out with a new packaging and have sealed the goody powder they have cut the dosage I have to take two for it to work and now one is not strong enough. I am so disappointed in this company as long as I have been taken this medicine believe me I know the difference I'm hoping I can still find some of the old packaging of Goody's powder before it's all taken of the market. I think I will start taken BC Powders. so sad Goody's change its product"

For Migraine "The new packaging sucks. I have talked to other users and they all atree. It is much harder to get the powder out of the new package. I have to use 3 packages to get out the same amount of powder as two old packages, as the powder clogs up at the bottom, This is a very poor design. I hope you go back to the old packaging or improve the new ones."

For Migraine "I have taken Goody powders over the years. Now that they have changed the packaging, I will be switching to something else. PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING AND PRODUCT!!!! IT IS NOT THE SAME"

"I have taken Goddn's extra-strength headache powder for years for my back pain and associated head-ache. Since you changed the packaging, which is awkward and impossible to use, along with a suspected change in formula, I will stop buying your product. It has decreased in its effectiveness for my condition. Additionally, the packaging is horrible. I’ve used them for years. Old adage that you should have paid attention to: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Fire whoever came up with this inane change! And go back to what works for your customers."

For Migraine "I HATE the new packaging ---- I can not get all of the powder out of the package. My parents are in their 80s and are having more difficulties than I am due to age and arthritis. They literally have to cut the package open and pour contents in a spoon. Bring back old packaging!!!!!!!!!!!"

For Migraine "I was introduced to Goody’s headache powders many many years ago. I have terrible sinus headaches and it’s the only thing that will relieve them. That being said, the new packaging is the WORST !! The person or persons that designed or advised this change needs a new profession. You know the old saying “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”. We as consumers have been loyal to Goody’s, please hear us and change back to the wrapper. Change the box to a zip lock bag BUT NOT THE WRAPPER! Thank you"

"This new packaging doesn't help at all! Very difficult to open back anyone who tries to help me open them. They have list contents and they just don't work and taste funny. I am 64 years old and been using goodies forever. Now I'm going to use them FOR-NEVER!!..BYE"

For Migraine "Please, for the love of all things, bring back the original wrapping. This new on the go stick wrapping is awful and there's no way there's the same amount of product in these new packs as before. At least give us the option!"

"I do not like the new packaging at all! Goody's is the absolute best for pain relief, but since package change my pain has been coming back sooner...like half hour before I can take another dose. I definitely like the sleeves better. I hope the company will change it back."

For Migraine "I have used Goody's for 30+ years since they are the only thing that helps with my head & body pain. I bought them in the 50 count boxes as well as the pocket size. But since the new packaging seems to have taken over I am going to have to find something to take the place of Goody's. I am a very unhappy loyal customer!"

For Migraine "I been taking goody powders for 25 plus yrs. I know I'm not crazy but they are not working like the old ones did. I guess it's a blessing in disguise because I am about to stop wasting my money one these new packets"

For Migraine "My grandmother first gave me a Goodies back in the 80s. It's the only thing that will touch my migraine without a prescription. Imagine my surprise when I now have to first wrestle with the package (while having a pounding headache) to get the powder out of this new stupid to-go pack. What was wrong with the way it was?? Now I have to flick the package to get the powder to the bottom, then hope I get all the powder in one shot (which I usually don't because I've flicked it so much it's now a block at the bottom). Three attempts to get this ONE powder into my system. My head was pounding harder than it was before I took the medicine. This is bad. Please change the packaging back to the trifold paper. I absolutely HATE this new packaging."

"I have been using Goody powders for years and years. I remember my grandparents swore by them. Whatever your ills, take a Goody powder, or a BC, and Standback, you're better in no time! (Yes, there was a pun intended.) However, I hate this new packaging, and I have yet to read a review, posted by the consumer, that admits to liking the new on the go stick package, or whatever it is they call it. I think understand the theory behind the change, but I don't like it! No siree, not one bit! That said, I have a humerous story about Goody's being a southern thing. I was in Chicago and woke up with a humongous hangover/headache. Went to the store and asked the clerk did the have any BC's? He said, "Don't give me that abbrevation rubbish just tell me what you want." Needless to say, I never left Florida without a headache powder again."

For Migraine "I have been using Goody’s daily for almost 10 years and hate the new packaging. Was excited today when I went into a store and found they still had the old packaging and bought all they had. But I am seriously considering looking into a different product for my headaches just because of the new packaging."

For Migraine "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 vomitting and I took some ibuprofen but couldn't keep it down. My friend had left her goody 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."

For Pain/Fever "Wow! So many people with the same complaint. I hope the company is listening. I actually sought out a review board because the new packaging is just so bad. I also tried emailing the company and got no reply. Definitely feels like you get less product and half of what you do gets stuck in the corners. I'm begging this company to go back to the old packaging."

For Pain/Fever "I do not like the new goody powder on the go pack . I can't get all the powder out of it unless I tear it down the side like taking the original goody powder. I also can't put the pack in my back pocket so anyway I have been taking goody powders for 28 years and now I have now swapped to take aspirin or tylenol"

For Pain/Fever "I've taken Goody's Powers and BC Powers off and on for decades. It really does work! It's bad for the stomach, but most all these medicines/drugs/prescriptions are bad for the stomach. It works quickly & affectively.Within 20 minutes or less you will feel the pain subside. I prefer it over the bottles of headache meds. It would be nice it it came in the form of tablets, capsules even gels. If wanting to try, just put the power on the back of your tongue and swallow with a glass of sweet tea or juice. It makes it bearable for those that don't like the taste or can't stand it. I usually drink water, but I'm accustomed to it. That reminds me there's Standback Powers also. Try not to take more than is actually needed... less is better."
