Are the iconic Life Savers rolls disappearing? Recently my wife had a roll of Life Savers that she purchased at the airport. Popping a green one in my mouth, I was aghast that it was watermelon and not lime. Having not had Life Savers for a while, I had forgotten completely that they replaced lemon and lime with raspberry and watermelon in the 5-flavor roll a few years ago (a development to which I was and remain opposed). In any event, I ended up eating most of her roll, and while doing errands, sought to replace it. To my utter amazement, I could not find a roll of Life Savers anywhere -- not at two different grocery stores (Giant and Harris Teeter), not at CVS, and not at a local beer/wine store. The grocery stores had them in bags, but not rolls. So, I'm wondering -- does this mean the rolls are being phased out completely, or is this just an odd quirk of the stores where I live (Montgomery County, Maryland)? Am I the only one who is annoyed by this?
