Gummies often taste artificial, which may put off consumers. But some manufacturers are offering less sugary versions that may appeal to those with dietary restrictions or those looking for healthier snacks.
Haribo Goldbears Sour are an excellent example. Similar to their classic counterparts, these gummies come covered with an intoxicating coating of sour crystals.
Life Savers
Life Savers candy rolls with holes have long been a beloved favorite, serving to freshen breath or provide a tasty fruity pick-me-up. Their flavors may change over time, but Life Savers remains a trusted brand.
Clarence Crane of Garrettsville, Ohio – father of poet Hart Crane – created Life Savers as an innovative solution to increase sales during summer months. To combat melting candy production he adapted an existing pill making machine used by pharmacies into creating round candies with holes.
Crane sold his business for $2,900 to Edward Noble and J. Roy Allen who adopted more practical packaging such as thin aluminum foil rolls that kept candies dry while protecting from moisture loss. Through their hard work and advertising campaigns they expanded and enhanced the Life Savers brand name with new advertising campaigns and products to drive success for this iconic American brand.
