    I noticed that too. I’m sure Pastilles and Fruit Tingles were Allen’s.

    I can remember 4 types of Lifesavers growing up. Fruit, pink, peppermint and spearmint in the roll. I only remember them because they were in Christmas stockings and the word Lifesaver was written on them. Now they’re all in packets.

      fruit tingles were discs

      lifesavers were clear hard toroidal candy with many flavours. Orange, lemon, lime and strawberry are the ones i remember

        I should clarify. Pastilles and fruit tingles were made by Allen’s. Now Darrell Lea make them under the Life Savers banner.

        The Life Savers you’re talking about were called 5 flavours. They are 1 of 4 rolls of Life Savers I can remember. Musk, Spearmint and Peppermint being the others. They had Lifesaver written on them and were as far as I know the only lollies with the hole in the middle.

        Now days you can get bananas and all kinds of lollies under the Life Savers banner.
