Well have been checking around, and it seems they don’t make the cantaloupe flavor anymore…☹ They have something called mango melon, which I doubt is the same thing. And my other favorite was tangerine, which for a brief shining moment got their own roll, and is also now gone. I hate the people that make these decisions. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > My mother is addicted to Tootsie roll pops and is always upset at the large number of the cherry flavors instead of lime and lemon, which are her favorites. I just found out you can buy single flavors on Amazon (including lemon and lemon lime). Didn’t know that for Tootsie pops. They seem expensive to me, but I don’t know what they cost in stores since I don’t ever buy them. ---

> [@california\_jobcase](#): > > Pineapple, schmineapple. The real tragedy in today’s candies is that lime has been removed! “Original” Skittles, Life Savers, generic suckers from the bank- no lime anywhere! There should be a lime lovers’ revolt, as lime is definitely the finest of the candy flavors! > … Oh i agree with you sooooo much. I love lime flavor. And it keeps getting replaced with nasty “sour apple”. I like real apples well enough, but please spare me “sour apple” flavored candies. ---

Cantaloupe is even more criminally underappreciated than coconut. I forgot all about the cantaloupe flavor. Yes, those are very, VERY good too. > [@thelurkinghorror](#): > > Cantaloupe? Eh, you don’t miss much. Honeydew is the money melon Did they ever make such a flavor in LifeSavers? I don’t remember it but I’d be all over it if so.
