This is a real winner of a sweet harking back to the days when a working family could not afford the attentions of a doctor (Five guineas please!) when a chesty cough doing the rounds. Instead, granny or grandad would have probably cleared their chest with something along the lines of a Blackcurrant and Menthol sweet. Menthol, a derivative of mint, contains antiseptic and anti-irritant properties and would have soothed a sore throat, whilst the blackcurrant would provide a fruity sweetness as well as adding some much needed Vitamin C into the mix. The other fact is of course was that it would probably better than anything the local quack would have prescribed anyway! Nowadays of course, it's enjoyed as a sweet as well as a soother.
