The Rise and Fall and Rise Again of Creme Savers

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Life Savers’ Creme Savers were among the most popular candies in the United States. Reminiscent of an ice cream treat on a hot summer day, Creme Savers were described as relaxing, creamy, and smooth. But the journey to get Creme Savers to stores was anything but smooth. In fact, Creme Savers almost didn’t make it out of the research and development laboratory of Life Savers. From a secret side project to a $100 million brand, this is the story of Creme Savers.
