Goody's Powder
Goody's Powder is an over-the-counter pain reliever, in elemental "powder" form, marketed and sold by GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals. Like BC Powder, with which it is commonly confused, Goody's is sold primarily in the American South. For many years, the face of Goody's has been NASCAR legend Richard Petty, who appears in television commercials, billboards and print advertisements for the product. Goody's contains aspirin, caffeine, and acetaminophen, the same formula as Excedrin, but in powder form, which does not need to be dissolved by the digestive system as a tablet would, before entering the bloodstream, but the very acidic taste and awkwardness of ingesting the powder is often displeasurable.
