1912 marked the birth of the ever popular candy, Life Savers. Life Savers were made by the chocolate manufacturer Clarence Crane. They were invented to be a "Summer Candy" since they had to ability to to withstand heat better than chocolate could. The first flavour ever created was called Pep-O-Mint. The first five flavour roll wasn't made until 1935. They candy was named "Life Savers" since they looked like life preservers.
Life savers were sold at the the cash register of saloons, cigar stores, drug stores, barbers shops and restaurants. The cost of Life Savers at the time was five cents. The owner of Life Savers 
requested that every time a customer received change, they would receive a nickel. More times than not, the nickel would be used to buy lifesavers. The owner made a large fortune because of the affordable price of Life Savers.

Today they still taste great! Who doesn't love Life Savers ?? :))
