Did You Have A Go-To Flavor?

They came in every color of the rainbow, tucked neatly in your pocket or purse, ready to brighten the day with one twist of the wrapper. Sweet, minty, or fruit-filled—each little ring carried a burst of flavor and a touch of childhood. Did you have a go-to flavor?

These are Life Savers, the classic hard candies that first hit shelves in 1912. Whether you loved the fruity Five Flavor roll, cool Pep-O-Mint, or the later Wint-O-Green and Butter Rum varieties, there was a favorite for everyone. The rolls were so iconic, they even jingled in your pocket like spare change!


Unwrap a memory or two and share those sweet moments in the forum!
 
OMG, yes!!! Butter Rum!! And the Pep-O-Mint could cause sparks in your mouth in a dark room when crushed with your mouth open....IF I remember correctly???
 
It took me a while but my favorite is Butter Rum.. The butteriness adds a layer of creamy smoothness to this yummy candy!
I used to prefer Tangerine, root beer, and cherry. The 5 fruity flavored rolls were tasty as well.
