Fisherman's Friend Original 24pcs

Fisherman's Friend throat lozenges 24 pcs x 25g - the traditional and original Fisherman's Friend flavor. A classic from the start. The power of the lozenge comes from cayenne extract, the freshness from menthol. These pharmacist Lofthouse's lozenges began to gain fame already in the 1860s. Throat lozenges for harsh conditions.

The story of Fisherman's Friend dates back to 1865, when the English pharmacist James Lofthouse developed a preparation containing menthol and eucalyptus to ease the suffering of local fishermen on their long fishing trips in the North Sea. The conditions on that northern sea were harsh and windy, which caused the fishermen a lot of sore throats and coughs.   Originally the product was liquid but for practical reasons it soon got the lozenge form we know today. These lozenges became very popular among fishermen and they began to call them "Friends". The production of Fisherman's Friend was very small for a long time and it was not until 1975 that the first new flavor was developed. Today there are already 13 Fisherman's Friend flavors and they are sold all over the world.

Did you know that Fisherman's Friend lozenges are sold in over 100 countries worldwide? Although the product was developed in England as early as 1865, the first shipments of lozenges to the world, to Belgium, did not leave until 1974. Every year, over 4,000,000,000 Fisherman's Friend lozenges are eaten worldwide. If all the Fisherman's Friend lozenges eaten during the year were lined up, the lozenge ribbon would reach around the world four times.
