General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / lemon drops
English term or phrase: lemon drops
We got your screen protectors, lemon drops, your jolly chargers, sweet tooth headsets, your hover-selfies.

Is "lemon drops" has another sense than the famous cocktail to be consistent with these technical stuff like bluetooth headsets or no?

Sorry, no more context.

Thanks in advance,

lemon candy


Explanation:
lemon flavoured cough drops/throat lozenges
I think the reference is to the candy, to make the person comfortable. maybe he/she has to talk? Or at least sit still for a while. So some candy to such might help to make her/him more comfortable. It is mildly soothing for dry throats.

disagree  Tony M: Seems highly implausible in the list of equipment as given; I feel sure Sina has got the right idea.

  -> trouble is, we have so little context!
agree  Edith Kelly: speakers like the ones in your ref are highly unlikely. And headsets very often include speakers. I would rather go for lozenges.
