History of Life Savers Candy

Life Savers were invented in 1912 by Cleveland candy maker Clarence Crane to offer a heat-resistant alternative to chocolate during sweltering summers. The candies’ unique ring shape, resembling life preservers, inspired their memorable name.

After registering the trademark in 1913, Edward Noble acquired the brand, redesigned the packaging with tin-foil wrappers to preserve flavor and freshness, and began marketing them as a nickel treat placed at checkout counters. The popular Five Flavors roll, combining multiple fruit tastes, was introduced in 1935, quickly becoming a fan favorite.

Over the decades, Life Savers expanded into gummies, sugar-free options, and seasonal variations. The brand went through several ownerships, merging with Beech-Nut, later acquired by Nabisco in 1981, then by Wrigley in 2004, before becoming part of Mars, Incorporated.
