<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It been a very long time since I\u2019ve noticed Life Savers hard candy on shelves. Are they still around? Do Life Savers need life saving? I mean, I\u2019m not have an existential crisis about it.<\/p>\n
However, I may have one about the possible loss of Sparkling Ice\u2019s Starburst Strawberry flavor. There\u2019s a new strawberry-flavored Sparkling Ice in town as part of the Sparkling Ice Life Savers line, which also includes Wild Cherry, Pineapple, and Green Apple, and I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s enough room on shelves for two strawberry-flavored Sparkling Ice varieties.<\/p>\n
Starburst Strawberry is my go-to Sparkling Ice flavor whenever I\u2019m in the mood for something non-caffeinated, bubbly, sweet, strawberry-flavored, pink, and in a skinny tall bottle. I\u2019ve bought enough of them that if I redeemed all the bottles for five cents each, I could buy two unopened ones. There\u2019s something about it that makes me feel refreshed and satisfied. So don\u2019t leave me, Sparkling Ice Starburst Strawberry. Please. I love you.<\/p>\n
I still see the Starburst flavors on shelves, on the Sparkling Ice website alongside the Life Savers ones, and available on Amazon, so it seems safe for now. But who knows what the future holds? Will Sparkling Ice run a promotion where it pits the two lines against each other, has us vote to keep one and discontinue the other, and calls it \u201cWhich Will Be On Sparkling Thin Ice?\u201d<\/p>\n
Or maybe that doesn\u2019t matter at all, because after trying all four Life Savers flavors, I think, as Bob Marley sang, every little thing gonna be all right.<\/p>\n
I enjoyed all four, including the strawberry one. While I can taste some similarities between the two strawberry varieties, Starburst Strawberry hits me in the feels a little more. Maybe it\u2019s because I prefer Strawberry Starburst over Strawberry Life Savers. The Life Savers version has a nice but standard strawberry flavor I\u2019ve tasted in other strawberry beverages. It\u2019s quite good, and if Starburst Strawberry ever goes away, I could keep an empty bottle around, fill it with the Life Savers version, and pretend nothing happened.<\/p>\n
Next, pineapple.<\/p>\n
To be honest, I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever had a Pineapple Life Saver. Actually, I can\u2019t remember the last time I popped any hard Life Savers candy into my mouth. Decades ago? Anyway, the pineapple drink has a lovely aroma and a quite tasty flavor for a zero-sugar sparkling water. It\u2019s sweet, a little tart, and reminds me of the pineapple candy I used to eat as a kid, which I\u2019m sure was not Pineapple Life Savers.<\/p>\n
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, it\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve had Life Savers, but smelling and tasting the Wild Cherry brought back a flood of memories of what Cherry Life Savers tasted like. The beverage started with a sweet cherry flavor followed by a slight tartness. There were also times when I got a little fruit punch vibe. While not as wonderful as the previous two flavors, it\u2019s still quite good, and re-purchasable.<\/p>\n
Green Apple is a limited edition flavor, but I\u2019d be fine with it joining the permanent lineup because it\u2019s damn tasty. It nails the green apple candy flavor and the tartness associated with it. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because I don\u2019t drink green apple beverages often enough for my taste buds to get bored with them, but they were genuinely excited about this sweet-and-tart flavor. They liked it as much as the Pineapple and Strawberry, and would recommend it if you\u2019re into green apples.<\/p>\n
So maybe it won\u2019t be a big deal if the Sparkling Ice Starburst line goes away, because these Life Savers flavors made me feel just as refreshed and satisfied. But I don\u2019t want to imagine what will happen if both lines get discontinued. So don\u2019t do that to me, Sparkling Ice. Please. I love you.<\/p>\n
