Heading into cold and flu season, Halls put together a limited-edition Man Cold Relief Kit to deal with exaggerated reactions to symptoms of the common cold.
According to a national survey conducted by Halls, 55% of people think that men exaggerate the symptoms of their cold and 54% of consumers feel a "Man Cold" can turn them and people they know into dramatic actors. The brand also found that the number two symptom of the Man Cold is a cough, and stepped in to assemble a solution that all genders can enjoy.
The Man Cold Relief Kit, which can be won on TikTok, contains a hooded blanket for sick days, a 64oz insulated water bottle, a box of tissues and assorted Halls cough drops in flavors like Cherry, Honey Lemon and Mentho-Lyptus.
