Do you have a favorite "candy you ate as a kid" story? Share it here.

Back to the days when I was young and rode a long way on the school bus and was dropped off just long enough to go to the forbidden variety store across the road-which of course we crossed and bought whatever we could for five cents. Penny candy would not work in class.- ah! but cough drops would.

So many of us would buy them and when the teacher caught us sucking on what she thought was candy we could smugly say "but it's not candy' it's a cough drop. "Well" she would say "then that alright, I hope you feel better and it's nice not to cough in my class." Too bad-too many of us tried it and being a teacher she caught on quick-no more Smith Brothers in class, but I sure did like the taste! ~ Donna from North Carolina

Average Rating    Trade & Mark Still Make A Great Product   The cherry cough drops are just as delicious as they were when I first tasted them, during the Eisenhower administration.   Reviewed by:  Drexel Gal from At Home. on 6/8/2011 Just like I remember   I remember these when I was a kid and couldn't resist buying some when I saw they still exist. They are indeed just as I remember them.   Reviewed by:  Diixie from Houston, Texas. on 4/9/2011 Smith Bros. Cough Drops   I bought these for my Mom. She said they don't sell the boxes in the stores anymore , and they stay fresher and don't stick to the paper like the one's in the bag! She Loves them!!!! Thank you for having them   Reviewed by:  Diane from NJ. on 4/1/2011
