Wintergreen lifesavers should still spark. Triboluminescence occurs when the sugar molecules are crushed and an ultraviolet (not visible) light is emitted. This ultraviolet light fluoresces when it hits the wintergreen oil (methyl salicylate) and produces the visible sparks of light we all like... Best done with fresh, dry, life savers in a dark room. Try it with pliers if your mouth is too tired to really grind. It should be a real snap and grind to get the light. If you are going to be a purist, don't let the candy get soft in you mouth. Place it between two dry molars and crunch.

you can tell easy by a few things. for example, if you dont feel the same way, and you are looking for excuses not to see them or talk to them, you probably dont love them like you used to. it could also just be that the spark is gone and you dont feel the same connection anymore.
