For reasons unknown, the US version of Life Savers 5 Flavors was changed about 10 years ago, and they were ruined. Canada still has the GOOD 5 Flavors, so I bought a bunch of bags to take home. Strangely, Wikipedia says that all Life Savers production is done in Canada on account of cheaper sugar. Why ship the crap flavors to the US?

According to the Life Savers website, the 5 flavors are Cherry, Raspberry, Watermelon, Orange and Pineapple.

What are they in Canuckistan?

Lemon, lime, pineapple, orange, cherry. Those were the 5 flavors in the US too, until they went and F’d it up 10 years ago.

You started it, what w/ the 5 flavors and all.

Also, I SWEAR the money I got out of the ATM at the airport smelled like maple syrup. I’m not kidding.

You better ease up. If Trump gets elected you might end up on the receiving end of a US invasion, and then you’d have to paint everybody orange in deference to your new crazy ass overlord.

I’ve heard something similar about Korean candy. supposedly their regulations on the cacao content in chocolate is not as strictly regulated or something like that, so they sell it with cheaper ingredients within the country.

I find the slow extinction of lime candy disturbing

We have the individually wrapped Life Savers in the candy jar at my office and my favorites are the red, purple and green ones, which I believe are the cherry, raspberry and watermelon ones. The white ones are pretty good too and I’m guessing those are pineapple. Orange are the worst.

Really I had no idea they changed the flavors and avoided the green ones for a while based on childhood only really liking the red ones, until I randomly tried a green one and found it way better tasting than I remembered the green ones.

So...count me a fan of the new, supposedly F’d up flavors. Except the orange ones, those still suck.
