in the UK. It is marketed as a cough sweet or anti-congestant lozenge, containing eucalyptus
oil and menthol

brand, and shares the same packaging and dimensions of that brand. In the UK, Tunes no longer have the Spangles
style packaging.
There was a memorable TV advertising campaign for the product with the slogan "Tunes help you breathe more easily". The commercials featured the actor Peter Cleall
who would perfectly enunciate the word "Tunes" after taking the anti-congestant.
