how to determine the best lifesaver

It’s wintergreen far and away. Nothing comes close. Well the orange mints get pretty close. It’s not pep-o-mint. It’s wintergreen. Stranded on a desert island and I get to choose one hard candy. It’s wintergreen life savers. It’s not werther’s originals. It’s not jolly ranchers.

Here’s why. It’s the perfect mintiness. It’s not overwhelming. It’s tactilely pleasing to the tongue (eww what a gross line) especially the smooth side. It is not so hard of a candy that it will break your jaw or crack your teeth. Also if you chew on it in the dark it will sparkle.

Werther’s originals, aren’t bad. They are fine. But they take too long, the pay-off takes too long and there isn’t a pay-off.

Jolly Ranchers aren’t fun anymore. I used to love them. Well not love them, but I appreciated them. Especially the grape and blue raspberry flavors. It was fun to suck them down to a thin sliver and then try to bend them without cracking.

No it’s wintergreen life savers, because if you’re frustrated you can just chomp away on them. They are only 15 calories and your breath is fresher after.
