Just in time for cough and cold season, HALLS is offering up a solution to the dreaded "Man Cold"

EAST HANOVER, N.J., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Is the phenomenon, known as the "Man Cold" real? It's up for debate. Ahead of this year's cough and cold season, the HALLS brand - America's No. 1 cough and throat drop brand* - investigated the phenomena to better understand America's thoughts on the "illusive" ailment.

What is the "Man Cold" you may ask? Commonly, and often humorously, the "Man Cold" is defined as the embellishing of minor illness symptoms often related to the common cold. In fact, according to a national survey** conducted by HALLS, the brand found that 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**.

In a world where colds are a common "foe", the HALLS brand is excited to unveil its first-ever limited-edition HALLS Man Cold Relief Kit to help 50 lucky winners (of all genders) to temporarily relieve their symptoms this cough and cold season.

"No matter your stance on the debate of whether the "Man Cold" is real or not, HALLS knows that the "Man Cold", or any cold really, is no joking matter," said Caitlin Schell, HALLS Director. "When we found that the #2 symptom of the "Man Cold" was a cough**, we knew, as the category leader, we had to step in to provide the amazing temporary relief HALLS is known for."

To help all man cold sufferers and everyone else who may experience cold symptoms, the HALLS brand is offering a chance to win? the limited-edition HALLS Man Cold Relief Kit, inclusive of key items needed when on the mend such as:

• A cozy hooded blanket for those inevitable sick days on the couch or in bed. This blanket will keep you warm and cozy while you think of a brighter future, where you feel better.
