Throat Lozenges​

In today's Newsletter ( Friday 4/2/2022 ) there was a photo of a tin of Throaties.
I am wondering if anyone remembers another throat lozenge from years ago.
It was in a small cardboard tube, I think it was mainly coloured red and yellow.
It contained tiny, black, maybe half a centimetre square lozenges.
They were a strong taste but I loved them.
I have often wondered what they were called. Maybe some one will remember what I mean.
Thanks.

Now there's a memory Cheb, they were called "Cure-'em-Quick" I recall them well. I can't quite remember how effective they were.

Close but definitely " Cure -em- quick".... Half an hour later after a little research, Allens made them, in 30's hey were known as Cure-em-Quick, the name was changed in the late 60's to Check-em-Quick which I don't remember.

Hi Cheb, I think they were called Checkem Quicks or something like that. I thought the taste of them were pretty yuky but by the same token I loved them. I hope this is what you mean.

That's it, Chek-Em-Quick. Quick-Eze is for indigestion (chalky taste). You can still get them

They tasted pretty horrible but I loved them.
