They're a type of lozenge, similar to Fisherman's Friend.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_V
They used to contain Chloroform and Ether in sufficient quantity to make
you quite floaty if you ate a whole packet. I used to eat loads of them
at school.

Not sure what this is... I remember there was a brand of cigarettes
named "Victory" - is it that? I don't smoke since 1992 so I have lost

Hah! Did not know that one - but I am not much of a drinker anyway.
One of these bottles would last for years at my drinking rate,
whereas I had to buy 240 packages of my "Fisherman's Friend"
at amazon.de (so the transport charge would be acceptable) after
they disappeared from Sofia.

They are required inside NIF, don't know why. They didn't require us
to wear booties or walk on sticky pads to de-dust our shoes, like a
semiconductor fab would.
Few people wear masks here in normal life. Maybe 5% are masked in
public outdoors, maybe 20% at supermarkets, almost none in bars or
restaurants.
I think some people will wear masks forever.
