Why was animation so weird in the 70's? Everyone says it was LSD but this was the accepted art style world wide, what is the REAL reason/inspiration behind the trend?
As a young kid, the bit at 0'18 always bugged me because I knew it was impossible for me to fit a lifesavers around my tongue! Funny how our mind works as a kid.

Talk about instant flashback to being a kid. I loved seeing these on Sat mornings in front of the tv. I loved the beat of these. Wintergreen was and still is my fav tho.
life savers almost killed me when iw as younger i was siting on my couch upside down i ate a lifesaver i swallowed it by accident then it just felt weird.
Thank you for bringing these back. I remembered every single one and found myself singing along! (Where are these commercial jingle lyrics stored in the brain that they come back to the front counter so quickly once you start to hear the music and see the animation again? Lol) What a great way to start the day. Thank you and thank you Culpit for telling me about TVDays! Favorited!
I remember these neat commercials very well from my childhood during the 70's. :) I loved the music and funky animation. Thanx for bringing back my wonderful memories. :)
How many of these zany Lifesavers commercials were there?
I was hoping to see the one where a creature gives that green wrapper-string a quick jerk like a ripcord, so the whole roll unwravels in a flashy spiral pattern, and the candy tumbles out and down!
I love this jingle!! It's based on the 1966 hit by The Strangeloves called "I Want Candy", which was later redone in the 1980's by Bow Wow Wow. How fitting-Lifesavers, I Want Candy-I'm sure that's why that song was used for the jingle-because Lifesavers IS candy!! I also love the "Yellow Submarine"-esque creatures in the commercials!!
Thank you SO MUCH for editing these and posting them. I used to love drawing those little Lifesavers guys as a kid, and was telling my daughter about them today. It was a treat to share these commercials with her.

Does anyone know who did the animation for these? The style looks familiar.

I didn't realize there were so many variations of this commercial back then.
