Not sure if this was posted at all but I found it on the JoeBobBriggs.com site :
" Orange, lemon and lime LifeSavers are no more. For 70 years the LifeSavers roll consisted of the same five flavors--cherry, pineapple, orange, lemon and lime. But now the new-fangled flavors of raspberry, watermelon and blackberry are replacing the outdated flavors, and the only explanation from the New York- based company is "keeping up with the times." Yeah, oranges, lemons and limes are so thirties. "
I was partial to lime and pineapple myself.
I have balls !!!

No more lime? That sucks. Lime was the flavor that held everything together. Without lime, LifeSavers are just really tiny, fruit colored-donut shaped, rocks.
Big thumbs down to LifeSavers.

Kinda segueing a bit but :
Do any of you remember a candy, just like Starburst, from years back, but they were like a spearment flavor ?
I remember getting them in the bowling alley when my parents where there.
I have balls !!!

Maybe I'm jaded, but I'm betting this is just a big ol' setup, and they'll bring back the old flavors after a couple of months "due to popular demand" or something.
At least, I hope. I liked the lime LifeSaver too.

You can get all cherry lifesavers.
And what the fuck, you can get the others in the wildberries roll.
It's a fucking gimmick. It wont last.

I liked the Butterum flavored ones and also crunching the WintOgreen ones in the dark and watching the light that comes out from the shattering of the sugar crystals.

EasyReader is right.
My fave was the lemon.
