Old Candy Critic Articles - The 12 Candies of Christmas Part 5

I've decided to take down several old articles from the candycritic.org and re-post them here on the Candy Critic blog.  This article I've decided to re-post a little differently.  Since it's a special post for Christmas, the 12 days of Christmas in particular, I've decided to split it up into 12 parts and count down the days till the fat guy's going to bring me some sweet gifts.

'Tis the season to eat candy fa la la la la la la laaaaaa. As we all know Santa's Sack includes candy, and you know it's always what I want for Christmas. The question, with all of the Christmas candy out on the market, is which candy really says Christmas. Well in classic Candy Critic style we're going to tell you, and you better believe we're going to make it as cheesy as possible. Sooooooo.....

On the fifth day of Christmas (whenever that is) my true love gave to me......


One Life Savers "Sweet Story Book"

Life Savers are one of those treats that, alone really aren't that Christmas-like, but packaged properly it's all about the holidays. The one thing I truly remember about getting these as a kid, is the fact that it seems to last forever. I mean how many Life Savers can one man eat in a day. I did notice that they cut down on the number of Life Savers you get in each Sweet Story Book, I think that's a good thing. I think the only way you could make this a little more Christmas-like would be to create special flavours for the holidays like candy cane and egg nog.
