For Migraine "My husband and I dislike the new on-the-go packs. All of the powder doesn't come out, so you end up having to tear it completely down both sides to lick or tap the remaining powder out. Every single time. It's annoying. The old packaging was better."

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 the 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 "Long-time Goody's fan - GREAT for headaches. HATE HATE HATE the new packaging. Can't get all of the product out, and it gets EVERYWHERE! Please bring back the old packaging and the larger dose that it was."

For Pain/Fever "I hate the new packaging, and they don't work as well as they used to and cost more than 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 "Obvious corporate strategy to lower the amount of powder and increase the price for new 'on-the-go' packaging. For you idiots that changed a great product and are losing countless loyal customers... you need 'to go.' PS. Nice feature on your website for contacting you. I never see a reply. 'Go figure.'"

For Migraine "I have used Goody's powder since I was 14 years old. I am 63 years old. They just came out with 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 taking 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 off the market. I think I will start taking BC Powders. So sad Goody's changed its product."

For Pain/Fever "As with most reviews I read, I am a loyal Goody's user for as long as I remember, let's just say 20++ years. I do not like the new packaging, all of the medication does not come out. You have to tap, wiggle, and shake the package, and then you end up wearing part of it. I don't use them now half as much as I did. I have changed to Tylenol for the most part, you get a full dose without the mess. Please change the packaging back to the original."

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 Goody's 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 Goody's."

For Migraine "Not only did they reduce the amount in the packs, but lots of the powder gets stuck in the corners of the packs, and I can’t get it out. Been waiting impatiently for the old packs to return. Maybe they will, but until then, I’ll be using Excedrin Migraine. Works almost as well for me, just not as fast as the old Goody’s. Y’all screwed this one up!"

For Migraine "The new packaging sucks. I have talked to other users and they all agree. 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."

"I have taken Goody's extra-strength headache powder for years for my back pain and associated headache. 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 cannot 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 lost contents, and they just don't work and taste funny. I am 64 years old and have been using Goody's forever. Now I'm going to use them FOR-NEVER!!..BYE"

"I do not like the new packaging at all! Goody's is the absolute best for pain relief, but since the package change, my pain has been coming back sooner...like half an 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 and 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 "My grandmother first gave me a Goody's 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."

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 "The new packaging is awful, first, BC Powder changed to the new on-the-go packages, and now Goody's has made the same mistake. I guess when their profits start to drop, they will change it back. I hope!"

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!"

For Migraine "I have been taking Goody's powders for 25 plus years. 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 on these new packets."

"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 I understand the theory behind the change, but I don't like it! No siree, not one bit! That said, I have a humorous 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 they have any BCs? He said, 'Don't give me that abbreviation rubbish, just tell me what you want.' Needless to say, I never left Florida without a headache powder again."

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 and effectively. Within 20 minutes or less, you will feel the pain subside. I prefer it over the bottles of headache meds. It would be nice if it came in the form of tablets, capsules, or even gels. If wanting to try, just put the powder 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."

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."
