Tarm Nersesian, director of external communications and affairs for Mars Canada confirmed that Lifesavers candy books have been discontinued in Canada but it is still available in the United States.
In recent years, there’s been some grumbling among candy fans over the size of the books, and there’s even an online petition decrying the dwindling number of rolls in each book from 12 to 10, then eight and now six.
The original, now a collectors item it seems, had 12 Life Savers rolls in them, and a variety of flavors: Pep-o-mint, Spear-o-mint, Butterscotch, Orange, Lemon, Wild Cherry, Wint-o-green, Clove, Stik-o-Pep, Butter Rum, Crist-o-mint, and Five Flavor. There is now even a petition to bring back the book with the original 12 flavours that have been a traditional stocking stuffer since 1935.
