Can they because i have friend that is eating 4 packs of them a day and she doesnt even have a cold

Can they do any damage if you eat them like she has been?

If you dont know what soothers are, they are a type of cough lollie.

Stretch · 17 Mar 2006 at 11:46

Read the back of the packet.

her teeth will rot, and she'll probably get diabetes from eating so much sugar.

i think you're only meant to have like a pack a day, it does say on the back of em though.

I dont have a packet of them on me so i cant read the back of it

I can't imagine it being different to any other sweets really.

May have the old 'Excessive consumption may cause laxative effect' somewhere on there though

I'd only worry if she starts snorting Beechams.

Just found that. Funnily enough I was wondering if I had diabetes as I am constantly tired so was looking on the diabetes.org.uk site earlier today.

what about in excessive amounts?

Zip · 17 Mar 2006 at 12:01

Well i got her to tell me how many packs it says you can have a day and it says 2.
She said she ate 6 pack in a day a few weeks ago

Red and White · 17 Mar 2006 at 12:01

tell her to stop being foolish, why the heck would you eat 4 packs a day if you didnt have a cold.

slap her

Punch her in the ovaries

Visage · 17 Mar 2006 at 12:06

Well, they're a form of medicine, arent they - im sure there are deconsgestants and suchlike in there....

So eating 4 packs a day cant be good for her....

Stabbing in the knockers is 143% more effective.

How old is she?

Yas786 · 17 Mar 2006 at 12:08

Probably get a dodgy stomach if anything, things like that especially mints have warnings that say excessive consumption may cause laxative effects.

This was proven the other night when we gave a mate of ours a pack of polo mints and dared him to eat the whole pack...the silly fool did it as well but then spent nearly an hr on the toilet because his guts were playing up.

Tbh eating that many packs a day is probably the most dumbest thing you could do.

Hmm, tricky. Too old to listen to her parents but too young to listen to the voice of common sense.
