Wick Zitrone Hustenbonbons

WICK (known globally as Vicks) is a historic brand specializing in over-the-counter medication and cough relief products. Originally founded in the United States by Lunsford Richardson in the late 19th century, the brand became a household name for its VapoRub ointment. In Germany and several other European markets, the brand is marketed under the name 'WICK' to avoid linguistic confusion.

Historically, the brand was built by the Vick Chemical Company before being acquired by Richardson-Vicks Inc. In 1985, the global consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble (P&G) acquired the company. Today, WICK products sold in the German market, including these sugar-free lemon cough drops, are typically manufactured in Germany (often at P&G's facility in Gross-Gerau) to serve the DACH region. The brand remains an integral part of Procter & Gamble's personal health care portfolio, managed from their headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio.
