![]() ![]() It was the only time I know that my mom got a stocking on Christmas morning. Then I put them under the tree for my mom on Christmas morning. Before Christmas, I crammed the panty hose full of goodies. One time I asked a friend of mine to give me her red panty hose after she got a run in them. Some days she got the one she wanted and some days she didn’t. I felt torn between being nice to my sister and being selfish. I liked the assorted flavors, but my older sister would always look to see what Life Saver was coming up next and ask for that one. My favorite flavors were Pep-o-mint, Butter Rum, and Wild Cherry.

In 1925 aluminum foil was used for the first time. The process was done by hand until 1919 when machinery was developed. Noble's contribution was to package the mints into rolls wrapped in tin foil to prevent them from going stale. The mints became officially known as Pep-O-Mint Life Savers. He called the new candy "Cranes Life Savers" because they looked like miniature life preservers.Ĭrane sold the formula for Life Savers in 1913 for $2900 to Edward J. The pill manufacturer, whose machine was malfunctioning, found that the pressing process worked much better when the had mints were stamped out with a hole in the middle. He contracted with a pill manufacturer to press the mints into shape. He developed a line of hard mints but didn't have the space or machinery to make them.
