Wrigley finally agreed to bring back the original variety for the holiday season. It has been a long and draining battle to get them to listen but I am relieved we can finally return to our tradition. Keep an eye on the shelves this winter to make sure they actually …

Many of us have gotten the Lifesavers Sweet Storybook in our Christmas stockings for years. It has become a cherished tradition.


The original, now a collectors item it seems, had 12 Lifesavers rolls in them, and a variety of flavors: Pep-o-mint, Spear-o-mint, Butterscotch, Orange, Lemon, Wild Cherry, Wint-o-green, Clove, Stik-o-Pep, Butter Rum, Crist-o-mint, and Five Flavor. Then, they went to a 10-pack, but still had a great variety. Eventually, they went to an 8-pack...and then to the dreaded 6-pack. Even the 6-pack was mildly ok, 2 Five Flavor, 2 Wild Cherry, 2 Tropical Fruits.


Now, we get stuck with the 6-pack of Five Flavor only! They believe their market is a bunch of candy- hungry children. They work year after year to improve the revenue of The Wrigley Company by taking a way a few rolls from the books every few years. This has gone too far!


Bring back the Sweet Story Book that has variety of flavors and doesn't ruin our traditions!

The climb toward one thousand signatures has been draining but your persistence keeps me going. We need to hit that threshold before we present this to Wrigley so please send this link to anyone who remembers the real holiday tradition.

The momentum is building but I am exhausted by how much we have to fight just to keep a simple holiday tradition alive. If you know anyone else who misses the old variety, please send them this link now so we can hit our goal and prove we are not going to be ignored.

Getting the lifesaver books were a tradition to get and give. We always had them in our stocking and I remember giving them to my grandparents as a Christmas gift. Please bring back the variety of 12 rolls!!!!!!! I would be happy to pay a higher price

Lifesavers have been a Christmas tradition in my home since the 1950. My grown children give me a pack every year. It makes me sad that they never got to experience the classic. I almost wish they would stop giving me this inferior version of a classic.

C’mon guys, I understand the need to be capital efficient in business but clearly these story books created lasting memories for countless people who still love your product today. I would expect a 110 year old company to see the value in that.

This was such a tradition in our house as well as so many others. We looked forward to it every year. I emailed them and told them they are missing out on huge sales because everyone would buy this again. I received a pat answer to my email. What a missed opportunity!

Please bring back original life savers Christmas Story book. I grew up on this tradition and so did my kids. Its a haste trying to buy the individual flavors because you can’t find them all and you have to buy in bulk. I hope you reinstate the original. Thank you for your time.
