You can’t do a casual chat about Wint-O-Green Life Savers without addressing the triboluminescence thing. That’s a fancy word for “candy that glows when you smash it.” It’s not magic. It’s just sugar crystals breaking apart and releasing tiny bursts of light.
So, nutritionally speaking, you’re also eating a very mild light show. You can’t beat that for a snack. Is it healthy? No. Is it entertaining? Absolutely. You get a small dopamine hit from the sugar and a small fireworks show in your mouth. Bargain.
