Features
- In 1912, chocolate manufacturer Clarence Crane of Cleveland, Ohio invented Life Savers as a "summer candy" that could withstand heat better than chocolate. The candy's shape is based on life preservers used for saving people who have fallen off of boats. The candies hole was also put there to reduce the chances of a child choking on the candy.
- After registering the trademark, Crane sold the rights to the peppermint candy to Edward John Noble for $2,900. Instead of using cardboard rolls, which were not very successful, Noble created tin-foil wrappers to keep the mints fresh.
- Pep-O-Mint was the first Life Savers flavour.
