"I've taken BC powder for years, and most of my family too. The new on-the-go packages are horrible. You can't get it all out of the wrapper, and I spill half of it before I can take it. If I can't find the ones in the original package, I'll be changing to something else."

"I am like everyone else. I do not like the new BC powders. It definitely does not work like the old BC powder in the sleeve packaging. The new is flavored crystals and tastes worse than just using plain. Using the old BC powders worked within 10 minutes, my headaches are gone. With the new, it doesn't work."

"I am a retired professional figure skater. I began skating at the age of 4 and continued until I was 32. Throughout my career, I have undergone numerous surgeries on both knees, and I have received many cortisone and lidocaine injections in both my back and knees. These injections were administered by our team sports doctor and a private physician who happened to be a close family friend. Trust me, it's never a good idea to have a doctor prescribing medications when you have a personal or family relationship with them. It can lead to complications. So, I strongly advise against it. After I quit skating, I discovered that over-the-counter pain relievers like BC and other brands could provide instant relief. However, I noticed that over time, these powders seemed to numb the pain temporarily, but it would come back stronger and more intense. As a result, I found myself needing more and more of these medications. In 2014, I had my first stint in the ICU, and to date, I have had a total of six surgeries. During that particular ICU stay, I spent three weeks with tubes down my throat, pumping out bile, blood, and stomach acid. Eventually, part of my colon had to be removed, and it was sealed with a gastric bypass band. Since then, I have been dealing with severe ulcerous issues, internal bleeding, and severe anemia."

"I'm a third-generation user of BC's. Can't imagine going through a day without at least 3... of the 'old BC's.' The new packaging is horrible, as well as the new taste, this also reflects the effects... they don't work nearly as well anymore. You can't get the powder completely out of this irritating packet. They were great before, why mess with success? Just want my normal BC powder, they can keep this 'new and improved.' Before this change, I'd have given a 10-plus rating, the new changes dropped it by 5... not really sure it's even that high right now, I was simply being generous out of loyalty."
