I thought Fisherman’s Friend was a very strong cough drop? Ivylad picked some up for me when the Navy had us in Connecticut, but I haven’t seen them since.

It is a cough drop, but what made me think of FFs was the menthol, eucalyptus, and peppermint mentioned in the OP. I’ve done a lot of public speaking and I’ve never used FFs for that, but I can see where they would be helpful that way, even if one doesn’t have a cold.
