LifeSavers candies are bad for the teeth and body because of sugars (natural or sweeteners) and the fact they can be too hard for more sensitive teeth. These candies, however, are good to counter bad breath. When Maw says I need one during morning mass and since she’s downwind from the indoor air circulating, I pop in one of these circular delights, taking care to let the substance melt in my mouth and to avoid chewing so as to preserve my aging teeth.
Life savers don’t always come in candied forms. They can come in little surprises like that bag of veggie chips (probably left by Jen, the nice temp worker) or donations in the form of money to feed a starving family. Life savers can be a play on words: life savior, like a life preserver or jacket.
“You are a life savior!! Thanks a ton. Thanks! Thanks!
