Life Savers Twisters - Strawberry and Pink Lemonade Review
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I love finding new accidentally vegan snacks at Aussie supermarkets. Vegan-specific treats are still pretty rare on shelves these days, but that doesn’t stop us from enjoying some amazing plant-based finds. Recently, I spotted a new drop from Life Savers – the Life Savers Twisters. Yep, these chewy sweets are accidentally vegan too!
The new Life Savers Strawberry Twisters and Life Savers Pink Lemonade Twisters are available now at Woolworths for $5 a pack.
Are Life Savers Twisters Vegan?
Yes – both the Pink Lemonade and Strawberry Life Savers Twisters are vegan friendly. That means no animal-based gelatine lurking in the ingredients, which is pretty common in lollies on the market. While not every product in the Life Savers range is vegan (plenty contain gelatine), a few options have always been safe for us, including:
Blackcurrant Pastilles
Peelies (Original & Grape)
Lemon Sherbet Bombs
Now, we can add Life Savers Twisters to that vegan-friendly list.
Taste Test – Life Savers Twisters
When I first saw these, I thought they might be a bit like Twizzlers from the U.S. You know, the iconic red lolly ropes. But honestly, these Life Savers Twisters are so much better.
Here’s why:
Flavour: Twizzlers often taste bland and waxy, but these Life Savers Twisters actually pack a punch. Both the Strawberry and Pink Lemonade flavours come through strong.
Texture: Softer than Twizzlers, making them easier to chew (and more enjoyable in my opinion).
Sweetness: Not overpowering, just enough to keep you coming back for another piece.
Out of the two, I personally preferred the Pink Lemonade. This flavour is a little zingy, with a nice balance of sweet and tangy.
Why You’ll Love Life Savers Twisters
Affordable treat at just $5 a pack.
Vegan friendly – no gelatine or hidden animal ingredients.
Perfect movie snack – chewy, sweet, and fun to share.
Nostalgic factor – Life Savers are making a comeback in Aussie supermarkets, and it’s nice to see vegan-friendly options included.
If you’ve got a sweet tooth, the Life Savers Twisters are definitely worth picking up. They’re soft, flavoursome, and, best of all, they’re vegan friendly. Perfect for a movie night, kids’ treat, or just a cheeky sweet fix.
At $5, they’re an easy win and one of the better chewy lollies I’ve tried recently. For me, the Life Savers Pink Lemonade edges out Strawberry, but both are solid options.
