Back in 1987 or 1988, I reached out to Nabisco and requested the definitive list of flavors (flavours) of Life Savers™️ that had been made. They set me a typewritten, 1-page list of the flavors that were available at that point. Yet in 1989, when they produced early replicas of Pepsin, Choc⭕Late, and Lic⭕Rice, I first became aware of the discontinued flavors--of which there had been many!

Background + What's In & Out

I've decided to just include the following formats of Life Savers in the list: pressed mints (like Pep⭕Mint) and boiled candy (like Wild Cherry and Creme Savers). I have not included Life Savers Gummies not Darrell Lea's products like Jellies, Stix, etc. which would not have been found in rolls.

• The list includes flavors from Australia, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Venezuela, and the United States. Note: If you know of other countries where Life Savers were produced, or places where they were sold with perhaps different language on the wrapper, I would be thrilled to know.
• They come in the following sizes: a) standard that appear in a roll; b) tiny sizes called Holes, Minis, & Tarts; c) large ones like the Lollipops.
• My personal records include a significant amount more detail than just names of flavors, yet I decided to start with just the names.
• Why are there dupes? Because they're candies with different formats--pressed mint, boiled candy, sugar-free, etc.
• I cannot wait to be told that a flavor is missing!! Identifying 🆕 flavors makes me 😊 smile.

* This is based on only 1 source. It is possible this was a graphic design mockup (albeit, one done fairly well). It's hard to tell whether this was intended to be a pineapple-lime product or a pine (the tree)-lime flavor. Similarly, it is unclear whether this was a "pressed dextrose" product or a "boiled sweet." It included "NEL" on the label; I have not been able to locate a company or a country code that corresponds to that 3-digit acronym.

**It's possible that these articles are referring to how many flavors are available domestically; however, neither article specified that.
