"My favorite flavor is red!"

Yesterday at a neighborhood street fair, kids climbed all over the gleaming red fire truck. If the truck were blue, it would be cool but it wouldn't lure them so magnetically.

The fair's centerpiece was a red moon walk topped by an inflatable dalmation in a red fire hat. 11-year-old face painters carefully shaped red hearts on on a little girls' cheeks. Mothers were serving Hawaiian Punch. Kids' hot dogs wore plenty of ketchup, no mustard at all. Redder tasted better.

Which was your favorite Lifesaver when you were a kid?
