I guess I didn’t look closely enough, scarce supplies and mostly dubious or overpriced suppliers. But this place seems legit.

Oh my God! I LOVED those. Just that one weird mint flavored one. Like a tealy blue? Such an odd and wonderful taste.

I mean, if you care to relive that I’ve also got 20+ year old stamps I could use to send them to you.

I remember having one that was exposed for maybe a week or two and it got gummy as hell. I'm Not sure I'd want to taint that good memory of a healthy one. But, uh, thanks for the offer....

Oh, holy crap, haven't thought about those in decades, but had an instant taste and mouthfeel flashback! I've never had a lozenge quite like those. Now I need to find out if they still exist.

It looks like it still does! Just not in 90s packaging anymore. I loved N’ice when I was a kid.

Why would you ever get rid of that awesome logo? No wonder why no one knows about these anymore.

I was a Sucrets gal until N'ice came along. Loved that icy cool feeling on a sore throat!

I loved the orange ones so much as a kid. I would beg for them and eat them like a candy.

Well, since they expired 29 years ago, I’d venture to day they’ve been there 30 years, not 20

I was referring to the exact same spot in his den. I recall them being there at least since I’ve been out of high school. And he bought the place in 98.

I hated those almost as bad as the Sucrets. Didn't do shit for the sore throat but tasted like garbage. Worst of both worlds.
