Fisherman's friend cough drops. They're not the tastiest cough drops out there, but they fucking work.
These and "Sucrets" - for when you throat hurts and you want novacaine in tablet form.
Source: professional singer. These two have saved me many times.
"The name Fisherman's Friend" makes me think the cough drops are going to taste like fish oil or Powerbait.
Nothing quite so disgusting, they're the usual sorts of flavors you would expect to find in a cough drop. I taste mostly menthol and a bit of licorice, but they are definitely something that was made to be an effective cough drop first and foremost and tasting good was not a major consideration
They are kind of ugly brown tablets that don't look too dissimilar from maybe a pellet fish food for a koi pond or something. I have a hunch that I haven't tested that you could probably get carp to bite on them if you tried to use them as bait, carp will go for some weird stuff
