Life Savers
Life Savers is a popular brand of hard candy that was first created in 1912 by Clarence Crane in Garrettsville, Ohio. The candy is known for its distinctive ring shape, which is reminiscent of a life preserver used in water rescues. Life Savers has become an iconic American brand and has expanded to include a variety of flavors and candy types.
History
Life Savers was first created by Clarence Crane, a chocolate maker from Ohio. Crane wanted to create a candy that could withstand heat better than chocolate, and the result was the hard candy that would become Life Savers. The candy was originally packaged in cardboard tubes, and its shape was inspired by the life preservers used on ships.
In 1913, Crane sold the rights to his candy to Edward Noble, who repackaged the candy in aluminum foil to keep it fresh. This change helped to increase the candy's popularity, and by the 1920s, Life Savers was one of the most popular candies in the United States.
Flavors
Life Savers has introduced many flavors over the years. The original flavor was Pep-O-Mint, but the brand quickly expanded to include a variety of fruit flavors. Some of the most popular flavors include cherry, raspberry, watermelon, orange, and pineapple.
In addition to the traditional hard candy, Life Savers also produces gummy candies, mints, and lollipops. The brand has also experimented with limited edition and seasonal flavors.
Cultural Impact
Life Savers has had a significant cultural impact in the United States. The candy has been referenced in numerous songs, films, and television shows. It has also been used in various marketing campaigns, and its distinctive shape has made it a recognizable symbol of the brand.
