Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "Wait...I get it!..Goody’s are changing TO an ineffective, aggravating, irritating, less effective product that long time customers praise, in exchange for what some millennial jackass in advertising thinks is a good idea. Brilliant! After using Goody’s for five decades (they were 22 cents when I found them) I can only hope that this is a way they have devised to see how many users they actually have. Good work! Not! Say, ...an ad with the plethora of pissed off long-time customers storming the gates of Goody’s factory because their headache is killing them - may bring sales back up to pre-stupidity levels. If we wanted placebo headache relief, we would have been buying something else."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I've used Goody's for many years, and have always felt relief within 15 to 20 minutes. However, with the new on the go packaging they don't seem to work as fast or give me as much relief. The new packs are very hard to get all of the powder out of, and it seems as if there isn't the same amount in them as the old packaging. I almost feel like using BC's because they still have the same type of package. I love goody's for my pain, but absolutely can't stand buying them anymore with the new ones. Please bring back the old packaging!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I hate the new packaging. I feel like I'm getting ripped off too because I think I'm getting less product for my money. Then BC powders have now done the same thing. Y'all suck, and I hate your new packaging. Why would they fix something that ain't broken."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "We have used Goody's in my family for as long as I can remember. The packages were perfect the way they were, easy to use and we had different ways to take them. BUT, the new To go pack is garbage! They were always to go packs. Please change them back ! BTW ....pretty old."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "The new packaging is the worst and the product has changed and is very very grainy almost like crushed up glass. It probably scratches my organs on the way down my throat. To the makers of goodys, you screwed up!"

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I've had migraines about once a month for a couple years, sometimes more often. I'm a teenager, so when I would get my migraines I was physically unable to get out of bed, and would have to miss multiple days of school and make up work. Three months ago I went to my doctor because my previous medication wasn't working. She recommended Excedrin Migraine, and my grades have shot through the roof. I take Excedrin as soon as the vision halos set in, and after 20-45 of the halos, when the migraine would normally set in, instead of an excruciating headache, I get a minor tingling sensation in my head instead, which doesn't bother me at all, actually kind of feels nice. I would recommend Excedrin Migraine to anyone!"

I have recommended them to many friends and other individuals. This new package is ridiculous. Even worse BC powders have done the same. Please go back or I'll find something else!"

Absolutely despise the new on the go packs. Anything but on the go. Can't get all the powder out without using both hands and even then it doesn't all come out. Please bring back the original packs!!!!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I have taken Goody powders regularly for headaches for at least 28 years and am very upset that the company has changed the packaging making it terribly difficult to open and to get the powder out, and that although they claim same formulation it is not The new formula is more flyaway and makes aspiration too easy. I will not continue to use this new formula."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I pulled the website to provide feedback. My sentiments are the same, don't like the new package. More difficult to use, open. Contents spill everywhere. I am aware that money was invested in the new equipment but a mistake has been made. Goodys user for 40+ years."

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I have been dealing with migraines and hormonal headaches for over 20 years. I've tried all the prescription medications which did nothing to alleviate the pain and nausea which usually lasted for 4-5 days for me. Excedrin Migraine has significantly improved my quality of life. I was devastated when it went off the market for almost a year. I find the new ones an improvement. I am so thrilled however I'm concerned that I may be taking too many which may cause liver damage. I take on average about 2-4 daily."

Goody's Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "My sister took these since she lost her insurance and they were the ones she felt helped her pain. Well she got sick and had to call an ambulance. She was admitted to ICU. She had multiple holes in her stomach and intestines. She was on life support off and on for 9 months. Her organs were failing and she started flat lining and I eventually had to make the decision to take her off of life support and she died while I was there. She was only 41 when she died. I suggest no one take this medicine as it can kill you. To watch your loved one die a slow and painful death is heartbreaking.."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "My husband is experiencing a psychological breakdown every time that he has to take a Goody's powder in its terrible new pouch packaging. All of the powder is impossible to come out and while trying to get it all out some of it gets inhaled right into his lungs. Please go back to the original packaging. Like others have already said before, If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "I've used Goody's Powder for many many years to help with my menstrual cramps and they have always worked within a few minuets... now I when take one of the NEW POWDER POUCH (which I hate the design) it takes around two hours to kick in. So, I don't know if you changed the formula or you are putting less in that little pouch but I NEED YOU TO GO BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS! FYI.. it is not convenient but rather it annoying :("

Excedrin Migraine (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Migraine "I've been suffering from debilitating migraines for 5 years. I see auras first, to the point I can't even see out of one or both of my eyes. Once the flashing lights go away the pain comes and it's so excruciating I vomit. I've tried aspirin, ibuprofen, and Goodys powders... finally today I almost wrecked while driving when I couldn't see because a migraine was coming on. I pulled into the CVS and asked the pharmacist what I should take. It was the last resort before going to the ER. He said Excedrin. I'm now back at home typing this review!!!!! I can't believe it. All I'm experiencing is pressure, but no pain. I can live with migraines. I don't have to be down for 4 hours when I have kids to take care of. Thank you so much Excedrin!!!!!"

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "This new packaging was a terrible marketing plan. Did they even run tests with individuals to see if it was "easier" to take as they claim? Because it is most definitely not! Goody's read these posts! Cannot get the product out, if you can get most it is very messy, not as much powder . . . Luckily the little store in the college where I work has a box full of old ones. I think I am going to load up on those . . ."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "Totally agree. The new goodys packaging is a "headache." Tough to open and aim, makes a mess, tastes differently, less content, difficult to empty, and leaves you with two pieces of paper to throw away instead of one. Please bring back the original packaging."

Goody's Extra-Strength Headache Powders (acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine) for Pain/Fever "New packaging sucks!! Have carpal tunnel. 4 surgeries. Always relied on your product for relief. Now, have to find pair of scissors to open package. No more purchases from this fellow. Shame, love the stuff. Beats Tylenol and others. Called "disgruntled" because I worked for Feds for 30+ years. "disgruntled federal employee..." Retired... but still in pain."

Powder gets stuck in the corners of the package. When you tear it open, then you are stuck with 2 pieces to throw away. I have been looking for other medicines to stop buying Goody's. Change it back."

I have experienced the same issues as many others. Can not get it all out. I have decided to pour all of the new into packets into old envelopes and when those wear out I am going to make my own out of wax paper. Not sure why anyone thought this was a good idea."

What does come out gets flipped all over my face & down my throat trying to get it out of the package. Please go back to original or find another method to make ALL of it easily slip out of the package and on to your tongue."
