I truly miss the good old days when rolls of Life Savers used to be so easy to find, so it warms my heart every holiday season, when these start popping up in stores for gifts and stocking stuffers. They were certainly available in every store's candy section, and were ever present at grocery checkout stands nationwide.
Many restaurants and eating establishments used to sell mints and gum by their cash registers, and I always remember CERTS, and Wint-O-Green Life Savers being available for purchase. You can get bags of individually wrapped Life Savers everywhere, but the rolls of candy are a real pain to track down sometimes.
This started a couple of years back, when I was complaining to a friend about how tough it can be to find an honest to goodness roll of Life Savers these days. This article isn't a comprehensive history on the candy line, so much as it is about the Life Savers candies that I most fondly remember during my childhood and adult life.Īs an adult, I often find myself reminiscing about Life Savers. So many varieties of Life Saver candies have come and gone over the years.
