The first flavor was Peppermint - they were made to look like a life preserver.

My Guess

I'm going to say licorice, just because it's a retro flavor.

I'm pretty sure it was pep-o-mint. The lifesaver building was in Port Chester. NY (there may have been others too) and they had HUGE life saver rolls on the outside of the building. LOVED driving by there as a kid.

Smile Candy

My Grandmother is 104 years old and she said it's peppermint that she used to always have for Sunday Church Service.

I'm going with peppermint.

I am going to agree with the Pep O Mint flavor. I remember buying them at the store below our house for five cents a roll.

I asked my grandmother about this one and she said peppermint........or Pep-o-mint as it was called.

I don't know if the game is still going on, I just wanted to tell you what G'ma said.

Fun!!

I believe that there is no such thing as an unwanted child, just unfound families.

Birth is an act of nature. Adoption is an act of God.
