I'm just going to say that I still like Life Savers. And so does my horse--but he likes the Peppermint and Wintergreen ones. :)

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

do you remember ... I think it was the wintergreen ones? that if you compress them, in the dark you can see a little flash of light?

[janenx01.livejournal.com]

Wintergreen! I've done that and it works. At least it did about 12 years ago. I tried it again recently and it didn't work at at all. :(

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

Yep! Wintergreen! *muses* I wonder what would happen if I gave my horse a mouthful. Would he be able to generate fireworks? LOL!

[tudorlady.livejournal.com]

Perhaps not, but it does wonders for 'carrot breath' ;)

Which animal does the huge wishbone come from?

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

velociraptor?

Terrific!!

Life Savers are great, even though lime isn't one of the Five Flavors anymore :(

[hootie-mcboobs.livejournal.com]

What?! So they dropped lime and kept pineapple?! Blech!

I'm pretty sure they Canadian ones still have lime in them. Unless I was just eating a really, really old roll...

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

I always liked butterscotch. Does it still exist?

[hootie-mcboobs.livejournal.com]

Butter rum, I think. I'm pretty sure I've seen that one around too. Didn't it used to come in a plaid wrapper?

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

maybe it was butter rum? the one I'm thinking of was striped longitudinally deep red and gold-ish yellow.

[hootie-mcboobs.livejournal.com]

There might be butterscotch too. It was definitely a red and gold package, but I might be imagining the plaid part.

I only remember Butter Rum because I ate it thinking it was going to be butterscotch.

It wasn't. :(

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

I remember it cause of Church Lady :)

Butterscotch Lifesavers did, indeed, exist at one time. In a plaid wrapper. They were my favourites as a child.



Butter Rum comes in the gold and red striped packaging and you can still get it.

The butterscotch is, alas, long gone it seems. ='(

[hootie-mcboobs.livejournal.com]

Wow, thank you!! So bitterlawngnome and I were both half-right. Partial credit! :)

[whoseline_wlsc]

Yeah I read they took out orange, lemon, and lime. They replaced them with watermelon, blackberry, and raspberry. (They've since brougt back orange and took out one of the berries.)

Wikipedia says the original five-flavors are still sold in Canada.

[hootie-mcboobs.livejournal.com]

So the only original ones left are cherry and the cursed pineapple? Blasphemy!

Good news on the Canadian front. I was a bit worried I'd eaten something ten years old.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

so wait does that make us backward or retro-avante-garde?

[hootie-mcboobs.livejournal.com]

I much prefer the sound of "retro-avante-garde." Let's go with that one.

[meezergal.livejournal.com]

I HATE watermelon!!!!

[tabaqui]

Damn. I'm gonna have to have a Canadian friend send me some! I love the old flavors. Watermelon? BLECH.

[mystical-chickn.livejournal.com]

You can send me all your pineapple Life Savers, those were always my favorite.

[hootie-mcboobs.livejournal.com]

You are welcome to them! When I was younger, I would put the pineapple ones aside, then stuff them back into the roll when I was done in order to throw them out. If I'd hung on to them, I'd probably have around 50 rolls of nothing but pineapples by this point.

Agreed

[noluck-boston.livejournal.com]

Sour Apple? How gross.

[vix.livejournal.com]

I totally miss the original five flavours!

[mystical-chickn.livejournal.com]

I keep thinking the girl is going to win the bigger part of the wishbone, as the boy's extended thumb is going to put pressure on and most likely break the bone at its weakest/thinnest point.

Also this ad is in The Golden Age Of Advertising: The '50s, so I've had a lot of time to be a total geek and think about the above.

omg the kids look TOO happy ;b

graphic design cheat! the two pictures of the life savers are just 180 degree rotations of each other!
