Can anyone tell me why these things are so addicting? I cannot stop eating them. I buy huge bags at Target and it seems like I can never get enough of them. ANyone else out there feel the same? If so email me…
So, you work for Target? Lifesavers?
Giving the benefit of the doubt here.

Yeah, I used to pop those things like they were…errrr…candy. But if you think they’re addicting, then whatever you do, don’t try the wintergreen Breath Savers.
Costco has me up to an $8-a-week habit now.
Well, “Wintergreen Lifesavers” anagrams to “Rat wifeliness revenger.” Basically, at some point you mocked a rat’s wife, so he took revenge by creating Wintergreen Lifesavers so you will suffer horrible addiction to them for the rest of your life. Or something like that.
This sounds 100% correct to me.
It’s because if you look in a mirror while chomping down on them in a dark room, you see sparks.
Wintergreen Lifesavers helped me quit smoking.
Now I’m hooked, as well.
At least they’re healthier than tobacco smoke.
Perhaps it’s the methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) that is used for the wintergreen flavor. It is toxic in relatively small amounts, though not much is needed to flavor candy.
