For Migraine "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."

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 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."

For Migraine "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."

For Migraine "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."

"So with all these comments showing the dislike of the new packaging, WHY aren’t they listening, and bringing the old style back? I'd pay extra for the old style package! This one is basically useless."

For Pain/Fever "I do not like the new packaging for the orange Goody powders. I feel we should get 50 in the box to go with the cheaper paper packaging. I understood why they charged the same amount for the better packaging, but once they switched, they needed to add the same amount in the box as the original Goody's. Not fair!!!"

For Migraine "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."

For Pain/Fever "Have been using Goody’s Extra Strength Headache Powders for over 20 years, and it was always super effective. This new packaging stinks. Who on earth thought that this was a good idea? It is terrible. The product gets stuck in the bottom and along the sides of the packet and does not flow out completely. The old packet was more waxed and allowed a complete emptying onto the back of the throat, which minimized bitterness. This is just plain dumb. This was not broken and didn’t need to be tampered with. Some millennial came up with this stupid idea that does nothing but make the experience worse! Return to the previous packets, dummies!!!"

For Pain/Fever "Have used Goody's for 5 years, and the new packaging is a lot better, I think. To get all the powder out, I simply just flick the whole thing, which takes only about 3 seconds, and all of it comes out good."

For Migraine "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."

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 swapped to taking aspirin or Tylenol."
