Best Answer

Life Savers were invented in 1912. Their inventor, a chocolate manufacturer by the name of Clarence Crane of Garrettsville, Ohio, created them to be a summer candy--kind of like an earlier version of a summer replacement show, I would think. Clearly, however, the idea stuck. He named them after life preservers, by the way, something I am sure was once obvious but is now a metaphor almost lost to time. As, I am also sure, was something in the way Mr. Crane felt after selling the rights to this candy, in perpetuity and in 1913 to one Edward Noble, for the less than noble price of $2900. As an aside, the first flavor, Pep-o-Mint, has remained with us; the first five flavor roll was introduced in 1935.
