For Tuesday - Lifesavers

Lifesavers. Now that's a candy I'd forgotten about. I did, upon my last trip home to California, get really excited when I found Butter Rum lifesavers at the grocery store and snapped them up to bring home to my love who loves rum. Turns out, she doesn't love Butter Rum.

I had forgotten the joy of lifesavers. How as a kid I knew I couldn't choke on one because they had a hole in the middle. My favorite vacillated between the red ones (cherry? strawberry? red?) and the pineapple flavors. But there always seemed to be, in my memory anyway, less pineapple ones that red one (or orange ones for that matter). Somehow the pineapple seemed more rare, precious.

I officially miss those little ring candies.
