Our Cold-EEZE lozenge flavors each have a very unique personality – just like you! And although some of you out there have strong feelings about your favorite flavor (“Honey Lemon for life!” or “I’ll only ever try cherry!”), do you know which flavor matches YOUR personality? To help you find out, we are launching the “What’s Your Cold-EEZE Flavor” personality quiz! Sound like fun? Well, wait till you hear the best part! By taking the quiz, you will be benefiting a great cause: For each quiz taken, Cold-EEZE will donate $1 to the American Heart Association, up to $2,500!

After co-sponsoring Skate for the Heart, we became inspired by the work of the American Heart Association. This seemed like a great way to increase our involvement with a wonderful organization, and raise awareness among our fan community. And what better time than February, the AHA’s American Heart Month!

The quiz is scheduled to be available on the Cold-EEZE Facebook Page for 10 days. It launches on February 8^th, coinciding with Hallmark Channel’s broadcast of Cold-EEZE Skate for the Heart. The quiz runs through the second broadcast on February 14^th, (Valentine’s Day, of course!) and ends on February 18^th. This great show features a dozen world-class figure skaters as well as American Idol celebrities, and is of course dedicated to raising awareness about heart health and the American Heart Association.

So, will you be Cherry, Honey Lemon, Strawberries & Cream, Tropical Orange, Lemon Lime, Mint Frost or Sugar Free Pomegranate? Take the quiz to find out! You can showcase your results on your Facebook profile, and don’t forget to invite all your friends!

Colds so often get the better of us. They make us sniffly, sickly and keep us trapped at home. So we felt it was time to give them a twist that could make them a little fun. We made a compilation of the top five best, guiltiest pleasure, songs that incorporate the word “cold” in the lyrics! Belt these songs out when you’re sick (a hairbrush-as-mic, pajama-clad karaoke performance) to help you pass the time, or when you’re feeling great (iPod on the way to work!) and celebrating that you’re not sick!

It’s possible that the most popular use of the word “cold” in songs is actually in reference to having a “cold heart.” After hearing this soulful Bon Jovi song, you might even agree that being in love with a harsh, hardened person is worse than being trapped at home, all sneezy and sore-throat-y. At least then Cold-EEZE can help you! (Sorry, we haven’t yet developed a lozenge that helps heal matters of the heart !)

How could we not include this catchy song from one of the pop scene’s reigning Princesses? She lets out her frustration with her unreliable lover, who’s up, then down, who’s wrong and then right, who’s hot and then—most unforgiveable of all—cold!

This down-home song by Jewel is about as real and unglam as it gets for a love song, covering all of the gory details of what it means to have a bad cold: “wipe my nose on my sleeve,” having a “sneezing storm.” Even so, it somehow manages to be a sweet ballad, proving in the end that what love actually means is, “I’d catch a cold with you any time.”

We love this folksy, inspirational song by Tracy Chapman. Chapman movingly describes the keys to success as hard work, dedication, and determination… and shows that they can even be accomplished when you’ve got (you knew it was coming) cold feet!

This lovely White Stripes song truly captures what it means to be caught out on a cold, cold night… and is haunting in a way that only a lingering cold can truly be!

Even though we’re talking about “cold” lyrics, we just couldn’t leave out the one band that is actually “cool” enough to have “cold” in their name. We’re talking about Coldplay, of course! This song doesn’t have “cold” in the lyrics, but it is called “Shiver”!

So, talk to us: which of these songs do you love? Cringe at? Can’t get out of your head? We’d love to hear some of your brilliant “cold” songs, so share ’em below!
