I was told there’s a reason Lifesavers were named that. I’ll google it later but it sounded like an oft repeated “fact” that my parents told me when I was a kid. I always assumed it was because it looked like a life ring from a boat and not that it helped diabetics (I didn’t even know what that was as a kid). I also heard the hole helps you breath if it gets stuck in your throat.
