Goody's Are GREAT! - Angela on Jul 12, 2010

As a migraine sufferer, I am always on the look out for something to 'take the edge off' until I can get home and take my prescription medication. Goody's Cool Orange Extra Strength powders work FAST because they are in powder form. The three primary components of the extra strength version include acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine. These knock out a headache and dull a migraine better than any other over the counter meds i've tried. I definitely recommend this product. Since it is in a powder, you do 'taste' the product more which is not fantastic. I prefer the Cool Orange flavor over the regular 'non flavored' powders... that little bit of flavor makes a difference. Although this product can be taken 'as is' without anything to drink, I STRONGLY recommend drinking something with this as it makes it go down faster and also allows you to 'rinse' the taste from your mouth. Overall, I think Goody's Cool Orange Extra Strength headache powders work GREAT.

Lifesaver!!! - tsew on Nov 7, 2011

I LOVE these wonderful little powders. I use to get them at the Dollar General but they only came in a 4 pack there. I would clean out their stock every visit. I found that Amazon sells the 24ct in a 3 pack and was thrilled! I can't find them in the drugstores in my area. I keep them everywhere, in the car, in the nightstand, living room, at work, in my purse. They are great for my purse since they are small and flat (like a stick of gum) don't rattle around like pills and they lay flat so I can put them in my credit card slots of my wallet etc. I have completely got rid of my mixed pill bottle I carried around for years with random pills, advil, asprin and mystery pills that are who knows what and most likely expired. For someone who get sick to their stomach when they get a migraine these are PERFECT. I have been prescribed pills but I could never "keep them down" when I had a full blown migraine. I was relying on alka-selzer just to take the edge off and settle my stomach enough to take my pills but with these I don't even need to take my prescription. I have 2 warnings... first, they have caffeine so not great right before bed but I still do it just because they work so well. My other concern is that if you don't completely swallow all the powder it can kinda burn your mouth. I got up in the middle of the night and took one, I was too sleepy to get a drink of water and some power was between my gum line and cheek... I woke up with a rough spot on my cheek, it kinda felt like when you leave a sucker in your cheek too long and it gets rough. A day later my skin actually peeled away!! It didn't hurt but it was gross. I am a little embarrassed to say I kinda like the taste and sometimes I take them just for the caffeine boost in the afternoon when I am at work and its silly to make another pot of coffee just for me at 2pm. I love buying in bulk and its great that amazon sells these in large quantities.

A Lifesaver - Jade on Oct 11, 2011

It's so nice to find a product that actually lives up to its claims. For years I've taken analgesics for various aches and pains, most often headaches. I usually find that the ones that help the most are the ones that seem the most 'serious'... the ones that you can't take on an empty stomach, can't take more than 4 per day, etc. This is clearly the placebo effect - the amount of actual relief I experienced from any over-the-counter painkiller, whether it be ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium or a combination of the above, always seemed to be the same. "I guess it's working," I'd say to myself half an hour to an hour after taking it.

With Goody's powder, the relief is PALPABLE. It is so wonderful to put this powder under my tongue and actually feel my head lightening up and cooling down. My boyfriend and I both suffer from chronic headaches, and this is the only thing that has actually shown us that it is working and gotten us back to feeling 100% when those headaches do hit.

The flavor is medicinal of course, but I have to say that the Cool Orange is FAR and away more palatable than the original flavor. I bought a box of the original flavor since it was about 1/10 the cost of the Cool Orange, but I can't even take it. It's the sort of thing that makes you gag, which isn't fun when your mouth is full of powder. The Cool Orange flavor takes a bit of getting used to, but you CAN get used to it, and now it's nothing. I put it under my tongue, let it sit there for 30 seconds or so, and then swish it down with some water.

One thing I do notice is that as fast as the relief comes from this medication, it goes away quickly too. I wouldn't call it long-lasting. I have found that I get the best results from taking a traditional headache medicine tablet like Excedrin at the same time as I take a Goody's in order to get the fast-acting and long-lasting relief.

This is one thing that I am actually going to 'subscribe' to on Amazon, since the improvement that it has made to both my and my boyfriend's quality of life is tangible. Great product, thrilled to have found it.

Goody! - J. Lacefield on Oct 3, 2011

I'm a big fan of Goody powders for aches and pains because a) they are sublingual (absorbed in the mouth) which means they are fast acting, and b) the fact that it is a powder and not a pill means I don't have to take a full "dose" if I don't feel I need it.

The "cool orange" has a bit of an aftertaste but is great for those of us who don't love the bitter taste of aspirin. In stores I usually either find either the unflavored or the 4-pack so being able to buy the 24 count (AND through subscribe-and-save) means a huge savings. Thanks Amazon!

Goodys For Arthritis Relief - Luckydogs- Brats Sau on Sep 26, 2011

I have terrible rheumatoid & osteoarthritis in my knees and am 80% cripple. Chronic pain is my MO.I hate taking meds but I have no choice if I want to be mobile at all. I am prescribed Vicodin and it does help.
Because this product has the same main ingredient as Vicodin, I can use it in conjunction between using the prescription meds.
I do not mix Goodys Cool Orange powder with any liquid at all. I tear off the top & empty the pack under my tongue for the fastest relief possible aside from mainlining. BUT be careful NOT to breathe in through your mouth during this process. You will gag & tear up. But the flavor is good and cool too.

Cure For Sinus Headaches - P. Crammond on Apr 25, 2011

I get grinding sinus headaches, feel almost like a migraine. I never got any pain relief with other products, only rebound. This is the only product that gives me relief from both sinus pressure and pain.

Awesome! - Denise on Mar 17, 2011

This stuff is great!! I used this for excruciating menstrual cramps and they went away very quickly. I gave my sister a packet to use because she had a terrible migraine, almost to the point of vomiting, and this took it away fast. She was quite impressed!

Convenient, Fast, And Exactly What I Needed - P. V. Lee on Dec 8, 2010

I live in CA and just can't find this product. I usually pick it up when back east visiting friends, so was excited to see I could now buy it on Amazon. It ships quickly and is a good value for the price. Will definitely be buying this regularly going forward.

Great Product - Sallie on Aug 15, 2010

I love this product as it really works. It comes in both plain & orange flavors. I have been using this product for years...and will continue to do so.

Awesome! - hiswife23 on Mar 4, 2010

This is the only headache medication that my husband takes that actually gets rid of his headaches.

BEST Headache Cure On The Market! - Mindo on Feb 4, 2010

I cannot recommend this product enough! Because its powder, it will relieve your worst headache in minutes. I am, however, disappointed I cannot find it in stores anymore, just the plain Goody's which tastes awful! If you've tried the plain Goody's and hated it, give the orange ones a try- they are awesome! The packaging is also very convenient for slipping into your pocket or throwing into a bag.

This is the only pain reliever I use now!

Cure Your Headache, And Fast - W. P. ford on Jan 30, 2010

I suffered from migraine headaches for years, nothing I tried worked to take away the pain. Then on a trip to North Carolina, my brother recommended Goody's. Well I tried it and it hasn't been the same since. If taken early enough Goody's works to take away the headache pain. I have recommended Goody's to many of my friends and they have been equally please with the results.

THese Are The Best! - Jason Burgess on Nov 10, 2009

I recently purchased 6 boxes of these because they stopped selling them in the local stores in my area. Not sure why because they have not been recalled from what I can tell. I assume a quick call to the manufacturer could clarify that. Regardless the powders taste like crushed up baby aspirin with a cool orange flavor. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't eat them like candy because the bitter taste is there but so faint that I can take them without water and let it disolve in my mouth if I have to.

Great on the go too. I usually keep one in my jean pocket and they've made it through the washer and dryer numerous times. Nice to be out and get an ache or pain and just happen to have a pack of this stuff in the jeans you wore last week. ;)

Wonderful Product - Amazon Fan on Sep 20, 2009

I am so happy with this product. The orange flavor is nice and helps take away the asprin taste. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a way to easy pain without swallowing pills. This product works faster than regular asprin (in my opinion).

OH Goody - Orange Goody's!!! - N. Phillips on Sep 19, 2009

I absolutely LOVE this stuff! I began using the original flavor, and I truthfully have to say that unless you chased it with an acidic drink like OJ it would most definately make you cringe, but I still used it because it was a product that worked well for me.
But ever since the Orange flavored Goody's came out I couldn't be happier, it's the only thing I use anymore and I am never without some. I'm happy with the new foil packaging as opposed to the waxed paper as it contains all the powder until use rather than spreading the wealth to your pockets or purse. I never have to chase this flavor with anything to drink, cause it's pretty tasty all by its lonesome. But if there was any complaint at all with this product it would only be that it's sometimes difficult to find in stores. But hey, I couldn't care less anymore because once again AMAZON has come to my rescue. Gotta love Amazon and those Orange Goody's!

Goody's Cool Orange - Jeffro on Sep 8, 2009

Great product - nothing better for a headache. Beats Alka-Seltzer Morning Relief by a long shot and cheaper too.

Nothing Beats Goody's - M. C. Carrington "Ha on Jul 30, 2009

Nothing is better than this product for simple headaches. It's so fast acting that you take the medicine and then the headache is gone before you even have time to think about remembering that you had a headache. The orange flavor makes it easy to take even if you don't have anything to wash it down right away. Sure it's still a *bit* bitter but really not bad at all. I used to take Excedrin, but not any longer. I do agree with the first reviewer though, do have a little something in your stomach. I find if I have an empty stomach that it will give me a bit of heartburn. Also do be aware that this product contains aspirin as well as acetaminophen and caffeine, so if you are sensitive, be aware. I find the combination highly effective.

Fast-acting And Effective - K. Arbuckle "Kate" on Jan 17, 2009

I have to look a bit to find this product, but it is worth it!!!! The orange flavor greatly helps with that nasty aspirin taste. The powder form of delivery begins to provide relief in just a few minutes and is in full gear by about fifteen minutes. This is one of those must have items in our cabinet. Be sure to eat something - even if it is just a few crackers - and drink a reasonable amount of water - not just a sip. This packet has often made it much easier to finish the day at work when I really have not felt well. The caffine gives a bit of energy and the painkiller dosage is effective.

Excellent For Quick Relief Of Migraine Headaches - Tastes Good Too! - J. Steves on Dec 29, 2011

Goody's Cool Orange Powders are nearly impossible to find in my area so I am thrilled to see Amazon selling them.

These powders work extremely fast. The powders dissolve quickly so you get faster relief. I take them for headaches, flu, toothaches, arthritis pain and fevers. The orange flavor is kind of tasty. It reminds me of the orange baby aspirins that my mom used to give me when I was a child.

Goody's powders contain 325mg acetaminophen, 500mg aspirin and 65mg caffeine. It's a combo that works great for most types of pain. Each box contains 24 powders. Each individual powder is packaged in a little tube that makes it real easy to take. The tube is a little hard for me to open even though it's scored; I usually have to use a small scissors. I have weak arthritic hands though and I have trouble opening many things.

I'd highly recommend this product to everyone. Goody's gets rid of the pain a lot faster than other regular pain pills.

Great For Headaches And Taste Great Too!! - Supermaninfl on Dec 27, 2011

I've used Goody Powders for years and was very happy to see that Goody came out with a "Flavored" version of their product!! I used to purchase it in the stores, but Wal-Mart and the local Drug Stores in the area don't sell it anymore?!? I was happy to find it on Amazon, but the price is a little high. I guess you have to pay the premium if you want the product, especially when you can't buy it elsewhere!!

Fast Acting, Better Tasting Than Orginal (unflavored) - TMP on Dec 12, 2011

My friend introduced me to the regular (unflavored) powders and they worked great. Powders can be a little tricky to take, but with these, the taste is so much better. I LOVE them. I take these fast acting powders in place of pills and get fast (almost instant) relief. This is a must try product. I just wish I could still find the orange in local stores. Thank goodness for Amazon.com, I know I can get these when every I want!

Great, Fast Acting - The Lady on Nov 29, 2011

This works really well and gets rid of headaches quickly.

If you can't stand the orange flavor, try the original then orange will taste like candy.

Great Tasting Powdered Relief - dnorth66 on Nov 21, 2011

My husband wanted me to start buying BC Powder for his headaches and I found this in a 3 pack trial size at Dollar General. It works super fast. When I get my really pounding headaches I take 2 and they are eased or gone in 10-15 minutes. I started buying the 24 pack at Wal-Mart but my local store doesn't carry the Cool Orange anymore. Easy to carry in my purse. Great price at Amazon, especially with Subscribe & Save.

It Works But You Need A Water Chaser - Long Time DF Fan on Oct 29, 2011

I was glad to find this on Amazon. I was a fan of the Bayer Crystals that I don't think one can buy anymore....bummer. The good news is it works, still need water to soften the blow. The not-so-good news is it doesn't taste all that great but the taste is short lived. It's still a good product and I would give it 5 stars if the taste was a little better. It is handy to have around.

Goody's Cool Orange Headache Powder - Stephanie A. Krosnar on Aug 5, 2011

Our Goody's Cool Orange Powder arrived within 2 days, in excellent condition. This product works faster than Bayer Quick Release, which we thought was fast! It is EXTREMELY orange flavored so be prepared! We would definitely buy it again.

Amazingly Fast - Curshellas on Jan 4, 2011

I have used these for years and they are my preferred method for headache or pain relief. The orange flavor is much better than the nonflavored, but either will do when needed. Without scientific evidence, I personally believe that these work faster due to their highly powdered form.

You just tear or cut off the top, pour in mouth, and then wash down with a liquid, or not, if none is available. They are palatable without water.

I use the Amazon Subscribe and Save for an extra 15% off, you should too. If you are not sure you want more, just set it for delivery every six months. You can always order sooner, or they send you an e-mail before shipping the next interval delivery...so you can just cancel the next shipment if you have stock on hand or cancel altogether at anytime for whatever reason. Either way, you get 15% off when you order it this way now.

I hope they come out with more flavors.

Great Product - Jane Osha "Jane" on Dec 14, 2010

I am so glad I was able to find this product online thru Amazon.com. This product is hard to find where I live and it is really expensive so I was really happy when I found it online here. It is a great product and it takes care of my headaches and it does it quickly. Because it is a powder instead of pills it goes right to the problem and then I can get on with my busy life. Thanks again I will continue buy this here. Jane

Goody's Headache Powder - CM on Apr 16, 2011

I use this for migraines, suggested by my neurologist as a repalcement for Bayers' Wake up call heachache medication. It works well, but not as good as Bayer's Wake-up call--now discontinued and was advertised as a hangover remedy and morning fatigue and is also safe for those that have had a stroke and cannot take other pain killers, including thier Quick release crystals. Bayer needs to bring back thier Wake-up call formally known as Morning relief.

Chronic Migraine suferer

Great Product! - Christopher on Mar 20, 2010

These Goody's Cool Orange powders work better then anything else out there for getting rid of my headache. If you are using the original Goody's or BC Powder you should give these a try. They work much better for me!
