Breath Savers is a brand of mint manufactured by the Hershey Company.
History
Breath Savers were introduced in 1973 by the Life Savers Company, a division of E.R. Squibb, in limited areas, and were originally sugared. The brand became a national brand in 1978 when it replaced sugar with saccharin and became sugar-free from then on. Nabisco acquired the Life Savers Company from E.R. Squibb in 1981.[1] In 2000, after its merger with Kraft Foods, Nabisco sold its gum and breath mint business to Hershey.[2]
