Over the years, many have tried...
and a few have succeeded

The Solution
Utilize ‘the hole’ for an efficient, space-saving mechanism
Early Prototype (shown right):
• Protective tube
• Spill proof
• Smooth twist-action dispensing
• Novel grips to hold and serve

Latest Prototype
• Analogue of the traditional pack
• Clean, simple aesthetic
• The ‘tube with the hole’
• Efficient use of internal volume
• Single material for easy recycling
• Only 3 components when using a hinged lid

The Hole!
A clever feature of the new dispenser is the hole which runs through the center of the tube, reinforcing the uniqueness of the LIFE SAVERS brand
Demonstration: Two screwdrivers inserted end-to-end through the tube
This design feature may be used creatively (as illustrated later)

Future Development Pipeline
• Hinged lideliminates potential choke hazard
• User feedback mechanismi.e. introducing ‘clicks’ or ‘bumps’
• Cam-shaped cross-section for the tubethis has multiple technical and marketingbenefits; the tube contents remain unchanged
• More flexible grips

The Ritual(with thanks to DB at Tangible Branding)
Capturing the user experience
• Pull out the tube (from pocket, bag, waistband)
• Flip the lid (a satisfying action)
• Grip and twist (unleash the engineer)
• Receive tactile feedback (sensational)
• A LIFE SAVER emerges (gripping stuff)
• Pluck and suck (the reward)
• Seal and stow (job done!)

Could Wrigley challengethe PEZ dispenser?
Why not? It only requires novelty caps.
