LifeSavers are candy here in the US with magical properties!

Magic!

And Pixar made nice (award winning) commercials when they introduced Gummi
versions:

Here are some strange ones:

I've never know a packet of fruit flavourd Polos where the entire contents
weren't stuck together, only separable by using some dangerous implement
and something heavy like a hammer or a brick:-)

Having looked at the links provided by Jon, I can say that they look
remarkably like Polo's, but seem to come in more bizarre and (in some
cases) disgusting sounding flavours :)
http://www.hancocks.co.uk/Strange.htm - look under P.
And if you're really curious, then do a search on google for 'polo mints'
and by the looks of things, you can find any number of online shops which
will ship polo's (amongst other UK foodstuffs) all over the place.
Followups set to p.o-t.
Bye for now,
Jamie.

:) Thats about right - they taste OK but always appear a bit 'skanky'.

Yeah they're the classic mint version. Lifesavers are if I can remember IMO
a tacky polo rip-off (though they may have been around longer for all I
know) from the US - I don't think they compare.....

Wonder if Uncle Joe's Mint Balls have a website, they've got
mystical/magical qualities too.

lol :) no I'm actually from Surrey (no posh jokes please) - I'm pretty sure
'skanky' is a very English word thinking on it - I don't think I've ever
heard it in any US films/tv.
