While walking to class today I was given a free sample of Halls new product called Halls Refresh. This new Halls is being marketed as a healthy hard-candy instead of their traditional cough drops. I expected it to taste somewhat like regular Halls products but with more flavour and that is what it actually tasted like when I tried it. As Halls is trying to branch out beyond the cough market segment I do not think many people will be looking to this product as a viable substitute to a pack of gum. It still has flavours that make you feel like you are taking something for a cough or sore throat so I don’t know how this will appeal to people besides those looking for cough relief.
