"I love these. And have taken them for years and years, but this packaging is absolutely horrible! Go back to the fold packaging or sales will go down, as you can see everyone's reviews are the exact same, and we need it back!"

"I've taken Goody's Powders and BC Powders off and on for decades. It really does work! It's bad for the stomach, but most all these medicines, drugs, and 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 Powders also. Try not to take more than is actually needed... less is better."

"I've been taking Goody's for all types of pain for over 40 years. When I had major surgery, I refused to take the strong drug they wanted me to. I take this instead, as it is better than BC Powders and Stanback and other drugs, hands down. The dosage was cut, and they're not strong anymore. This will lose a lot of profits and customers. You lost me completely."

"This is my only go-to for headaches, which I frequently keep. I have multiple a week and have depended on these packets for years. I do not like the new packaging. It’s hard to get it all out, I have to blow in the end to open it up, fighting to get the last little bit out. By that time, I'm tasting the other that’s been hanging around in my mouth, waiting for me to swallow. The consistency has changed and is gritty. Please bring back the old ones."

"Goody's works fantastic and very fast for head pain and very well for aches and pain. I use it daily for neck arthritis-induced occipital migraines. But use it too often, and your mouth mucosa will slough off in pieces."

"Works wonders for my headaches. But why would the company change something that is working?!... The new package for the powders is horrible. The simple fold-over package was easy. All powder went into your mouth, and quickly at that!"

"Have been using Goody's for migraines for 30 years. Miraculous. Recently had a very painful neck problem. Neither aspirin, Advil, nor Tylenol helped to the point I could not sleep at night. Tried Goody's… bingo. Pain gone in minutes."

"I have always had Goody's headache powders around. Love the orange. When a visiting doctor asked for Goody's by name for his headache, I knew I had a winner."
