Symphonies and Cough Drops

Thursday night, I went to the symphony. For some reason my whole life I've associated the symphony with cough drops. The reason for this is the first time I went to the symphony before the conductor came on to the stage, they announced that anyone who had cough drops should take a moment to unwrap them now. I didn't think this was a legitimate concern and found it rather comical actually. Thursday night they didn't announce this, but through the whole concert I kept hearing old people unwrapping cough drops. It was, in fact, rather distracting. Concert etiquette includes some strange and random things like that.
