Who remembers the iconic Life Savers, The Candy with the Hole treats? They were one of the most popular lollies ever produced. Its stand was a common sight at the corner shop, containing a range of fruity flavours, from the original Pep-O-Mint to the classic 5-flavour mix and Butter Rum. Which one is your favourite?

I don’t remember most of these one but the musk ones were my favourite!

Musk were so refreshing.
And what were the pale yellow ones, with a sherbertie tangy flavour, called? Came in a green packet

 

[Joyem]

I am a musk fan too.

I think those pale yellow tangy ones were called ‘THIRSTS’. It’s come to my brain, wouldn’t budge before!

I loved the treat at the corner shop after church every Sunday morning as my dear old Dad would buy me a packet. Such a hard decision to make when standing in front of a full display. Five flavoured were scummy and of course everybody loved musk & thirst. Such a treasured memory

I think we got the 5-flavours in a Show Bag!
Ooohh, the green ones were so yummy!
Much more flavour than Traffic Lights!

I loved musk and butter scotch as a kid. Actually I still do like them
