Goody's Powder, also called Goody's Headache Powders, is an

Prestige Brands. The powder delivery saves the time needed for the patient's digestive system to break down a tablet or capsule,[citation needed] ostensibly causing the medication to work faster. Goody's Extra Strength Powder consists of aspirin, caffeine, and paracetamol (acetaminophen) in a formula identical to that of Excedrin, a product of Novartis, but in the no-digestion-needed[clarification needed
] powder form.

Goody's Powder is sold primarily in the

advertisements for the brand.[1] In 2013, the brand brought on NASCAR's most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt, Jr.,[2] to join Petty as spokesperson for the brand. Prior to that, wrestler Dusty Rhodes
appeared in commercials for the product.

The company's website claims that "probably the most popular technique" to take the powder is to "dump" it on the tongue and then "chase" it with a liquid.[3] Goody's Powder can also be blended into water and ingested as a drink.[4][5]
