Caramelo Life Saver

Explanation:
Life Saver es la marca de unos caramelos, que como son redondos con un agujero en el medio parecen salvavidas.

Yo no lo traduciría porque es una marca, tendrías que jugar con el texto para tratar de trasmitir la misma idea

No sabía que en otras partes de Latinoamérica los vendían con la marca traducida!
Aquí en Argentina no existen, los conocía de USA,
Mejor para tu traducción!
