Yes, wintergreen life savers can create sparks when chewed at night due to a phenomenon called triboluminescence. This occurs when the sugar crystals in the candy break apart and generate electrical charges, which then release energy in the form of light. The effect is more visible in dark conditions, making it appear as tiny sparks. This interesting property is typically more pronounced in wintergreen-flavored candies due to their specific crystal structure.
