so i have been dealing with a sore throat for a few days now and finally bought Halls throat lozenges... has anyone noticed the little sayings they now print on the inner wrappers??? " You can do it and you know it "... " Get back in there champ "...
why? since when did it become so demoralizing to have the sniffles that a major corporation now feels it necessary to give us morale boosters on packaging??
- silly rant over now -  ------------------

Well, as long as I don`t get one that says " the old gray mare ain`t what she used to be"... It sounds like their packaging is following the theme from their t.v. commercials with the encouraging words ------------------

Celestial Seasonings Tea(a Boulder Colorado company since 1969)
has been doing this similar thing for years.
However it is via inspirational quotations on their boxes, in out on every place they can put a saying.

@Randall - i can't believe i'm about to quote myself these quotes were ones i copied directly... quote:
" You can do it and you know it "... " Get back in there champ "...
Lexx - see, another product i don't generally buy so i have been living completely unawares that Celestial Seasonings did this as well... am beginning to feel like i live in black hole of sorts ------------------
