Life Savers were invented in 1912 by Clarence Crane, a Cleveland chocolate maker who wanted a sweet product that wouldn’t melt in the summer heat. He decided on a peppermint hard candy in the shape of a circle with a hole in the middle. Since the mints looked like miniature life preservers, he called them Life Savers and registered the trademark.
Who’s your life saver???
JESUS
a lifesaver, ie something to help you float in the water, originally was a circle with a hole in the middle, hence the shape of the candy
