Are Jakemans a medicine?

No — they're menthol confectionery. Soothing on a scratchy day; for real sore-throat treatment, add a licensed lozenge.

Its vapour brings that clear-headed, easy-breathing feeling while the sweet keeps the throat moist.

Same sweets — pocket bag versus the share-with-nobody big bag.

Product overview

About Jakemans Cherry (73g bag)

Boston, England's famous menthol sweets since 1907: cherry-flavoured lozenges with a proper menthol hit, made with only the finest ingredients and no artificial colours or flavours. The classic paper bag. 73g.

The Jakemans idea

A menthol lozenge earns winter shelf-space honestly: the slow dissolve keeps the throat moist, the menthol vapour keeps the head feeling clear, and the cherry makes the whole ritual pleasant. A century of colds have been kept company this way.

How to enjoy

Dissolve slowly. Keep the bag in a coat pocket from October onwards.

Good to know

These are confectionery — soothing company for a scratchy winter throat rather than treatment for a sore one. When a throat actually hurts, add a licensed lozenge from the medicine shelf.
