"I have used these for many years! They are what works for me. I have recommended them to many friends and other individuals. This new package is ridiculous. Even worse, BC powders have done the same. Please go back, or I'll find something else!"

"By far your worst decision was to change the packaging. Did anyone ever test the new packaging before production? Apparently not. Something needs to be changed. New 'sticks on the go' packets will remain on the shelf when I walk by. I’m done with them!"

"My sister took these since she lost her insurance, and they were the ones she felt helped her pain. Well, she got sick and had to call an ambulance. She was admitted to ICU. She had multiple holes in her stomach and intestines. She was on life support off and on for nine months. Her organs were failing, and she started flatlining, and I eventually had to make the decision to take her off of life support, and she died while I was there. She was only 41 when she died. I suggest no one take this medicine, as it can kill you. To watch your loved one die a slow and painful death is heartbreaking."

"I had to stop taking Goody's due to irritation of my throat. I can't take it at all on my tongue, but I can get it down if I dissolve it in water. I immediately get a reaction in my throat and cough for five minutes. I suffer from acid reflux, and maybe that is the problem. If I am right, that should be listed as a side effect or warning. I wish I could tolerate it because it does the job."

"Orange Goody's is my one and only choice for headaches. The taste is so good I can almost say I like it. I have such a hard time finding the 24-pack boxes I had to start ordering them online. I did notice the amount of powder in each packet seems to have decreased a little bit, but so far it seems to still be effective, it just takes a bit longer. Nothing works as well as the orange for me. I've tried the other flavors, and they didn't work as well for me. I'll never use anything else, and I always recommend them to everybody. Why wait 30 minutes or more for some tablet to work when in literally 10 minutes Goody's will knock the pain out? I'm hooked. And after 9 years, no side effects yet."

"First of all, this has been the most effective powder medication I've taken. I wish you would keep the regular packs because the new ones are not good. The taste has changed, packs harden, and it's difficult to open and get all the powder, plus it seems the dosage is not as strong. I prefer the regular, and these days it's getting harder to find them. How can I buy the older version?"
