Actually, they were.

How Halls came about



The Hall Brothers started the Halls business in 1893 originally to produce soap and jams but began to produce confectionery such as chocolate limes, humbugs and caramels shortly after. In the 1930s Halls invented its Mentho-Lyptus formula, using a combination of menthol and eucalyptus, and began producing its popular cough drops. The cough drops were introduced into the US during the mid-1950s. Warner-Lambert recognised the potential of the product and acquired Halls in 1964. In 1971, the American Chicle sales force, part of Warner Lambert, began selling Halls under the Adams family, and the first national television campaign was aired. The results were a resounding success.
