Product description
Sugar-free version of the Original. The flavor is as strong and unique as in the original Fisherman's Friend. A more tooth-friendly option.
The story of Fisherman's Friend dates back to 1865, when English pharmacist James Lofthouse developed a menthol and eucalyptus preparation to ease the discomfort of local fishermen on their long fishing trips in the North Sea. The conditions on that northern sea were harsh and windy, which caused a lot of sore throats and coughs for the fishermen. Initially, the product was liquid but for practical reasons, it soon took on the pastille form we know today. These lozenges became very popular among fishermen, and they began to call them their "Friends." The production of Fisherman's Friend remained small for a long time, and it wasn't 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 did not go out into the world, to Belgium, until 1974. Every year, over 4,000,000,000 Fisherman's Friend lozenges are consumed worldwide. If all the Fisherman's Friend lozenges eaten during the year were lined up, the lozenge strip would stretch around the world four times.
