Be unstoppable, Inspire envy & Push on

Yesterday morning I woke up with a seriously sore throat. It was so bad, I battled my inner cheapskate and stopped at the gas station to get lozenges. After paying 10 cents less that what a whole bag costs at my local big box store...I immediately popped one in hoping for relief.

About an hour later, I opened my second one and noticed this...



Apparently Halls is now putting inspirational messages on their cough drops. Did you know this? My initial response was that it's a little ridiculous...but as I've thought more about it, I think I might just like it. After all, when could you possibly use some cheering on more than when you aren't feeling 100%?

The messages vary from those pictured to "nothing you can't handle," "march forward," "take charge and mean it," etc. Pep talks for when it hurts to talk...or swallow...or if you're coughing (which I'm thankfully not!). What would be your slogan of choice?

Funny, and yet inspiring too.

I'm all for a little encouragement on my cough drop wrappers. Reminds me of the sayings in the Dove chocolate wrappers!
