I think that one of the most unique aspects of these were their chewiness and succulent flavors, if you could let them disolve in your mouth and not swallow them. I remember these came in a really delicious sweet honey flavor that I can not find repeated anywhere else. The same was true of their cherry flavor. I can not remember what the green color ones tasted like. I believe they also came in a black color but I'm not certain if they were really licorice flavor. Do any other people remember these? There were about 12 or 15 drops to a box. I didn't ever see them sold in bagfuls like many are sold today. They were in those small boxes and when I seem to remember when they sold here in the Greater Hartford, Connecticut area, you'd find them at plain ol' pharmacies and were found near the Smith Brothers or Luden's brand's. I still like the "Brother's" licorice and cherry ones and a honey-licorice from Ludens along with their cherry. I would guess perhaps 12 yrs ago? Remember??

Unfortunately, there are no more. Pine Brothers Cough Drops were discontinued and even my favorite site oldtimecandy.com can't get it anymore. :(

Yay, stirring up some controversy. That's the hip-hop way. Lol Just kidding. Umm technically speaking, there's a two-letter difference. But seriously, think about this. A black guy goes up to his white friend and says, "What's up my n*gga?". The white guy responds, "Chillin". What you're saying is that the black guy said the white guy was a n*gger...(and that's incorrect) So in a way, the word has evolved past it's slang version of the word n*gger and has now been used as a noun for a person, regardless of race. There will always be people who don't like the word being used but it's been proliferated to the point that you can't do much about it. And just remember this, I didn't change the meaning of the word, society did. How many songs(particularly rap songs) have used the word?
