We can put a man on a moon, but we can’t beat that obnoxious collection of shifty viruses. So how cool that there’s now an all-natural cough drop for kids, in convenient lollipop form.
When we received a bag of LILAPOPS, an all natural cough drop for kids, both of my children instantly began coughing and staggering around in the hopes that I would let them have a taste. I didn’t fall for it. But when the flu struck last week, I’m so glad we were prepared. My sick preschooler now thinks LILAPOPS are the best medicine ever.
I tried one myself, because my kids have terrible taste and I knew I couldn’t trust their flavor description of “It tastes kinda purpley.” So here I am, 34 years old, sucking on a LILAPOP. The Grapeberry taste is very subtle, and it somehow doesn’t seem as sticky as a normal sucker. And you know what? Whether it’s the placebo effect or the honey and marshmallow root, my cold is bothering me just a little less.
Now THAT is pretty sweet! Any trick to help a mom sooth her sick kid is just plain awesome.
Wish I’ve knew that Lilapops back in October.
–Noted and will buy next flu season (because I do wishful thinking by hoping we went through the last of the season here.)
