History and Trivia
Lifesavers candy was invented in 1912 by Clarence Crane, a chocolate maker looking for a product to sell during the hot summer months. He considered hard mints, then imported from Europe in a square shape. His innovation was to use a pharmacy pill cutter to cut the mints into round shapes, then punch a hole in the middle with a second cutter. The design reminded customers of the new innovation used by boaters- the floatation device with a hole in the middle, called a Life Saver. On top of that, the new candy became popular for its own safety feature. Customers who sucked on hard candy sometimes inhaled too hard, and the candy could become lodged in the throat, causing choking. The hole in the Lifesavers candy allowed air to pass through, even if the candy was swallowed whole, thus acting as a real "lifesaver" to choking victims.
