Would it be finger-lickin’ good?
Iconic Fruit Tingles have been under the Life Savers brand for a while but they’ve had a packaging makeover.
Is it a Collab when Darrell Lea make Life Savers?

They’ve been like this for a while. I picked up Fruit Pastilles instead of Fruit Tingles when they first changed the packaging.
I must have missed the story about Darrell Lea buying the Life Savers brand in Australia. Or forgotten it.
It’s a shame they haven’t done much else with the Life Savers brand. I’d love to see them revive them classics like Strawberry Sundae and Thirst.

I used to like the Five Flavours and Fruit Tingles but I’ve gone off lollies as an adult. What flavour were Thirst?
Fizzy lemon/lime. Basically fruit tingles with a hole, I guess.

I didn’t know this either. Although the fruit tingle Easter egg has been out for a few years.

I don’t like the new packaging. I feel Fruit Tingles is a stronger brand/name in itself than Life Savers.

Why is that?
Because the musk flavour originally came from the scent gland of the musk deer?
Musk flavoured candy simply doesn’t exist, at least in a mainstream sense outside of Australia, so it’s quite perplexing to most who have never even considered the concept.
I’ve always liked musk sticks and musk life savers. Can understand why people wouldn’t like it though.

Gosh I miss Thirst.
Musk sticks were a popular lolly when I was at school but my nieces and nephew all turn their noses up at them. They associate the smell with old ladies perfume and deodorant.
I don’t know how they can use the Life Savers brand on Fruit Tingles when they don’t have a hole in the middle. I have the old Fruit Tingles jingle stuck in my head now.
