Nothing quite so disgusting, they’re the usual sorts of flavors you would expect to find in a cough drop. I taste mostly menthol and a bit of licorice, but they are definitely something that was made to be an effective cough drop first and foremost and tasting good was not a major consideration

They are kind of ugly brown tablets that don’t look too dissimilar from maybe a pellet fish food for a koi pond or something. I have a hunch that I haven’t tested that you could probably get carp to bite on them if you tried to use them as bait, carp will go for some weird stuff
