Best Answer

The sugar in the lifesaver dissolves when its exposed to water, because the water changes the sugar physically, I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong). When the lifesaver's just sitting around surrounded by air, there's nothing to change it's shape or its composition, because the air particles and anything else in the air doesn't have the properties to break down either the sugar or anything else in the candy.

The thing about that is that the lifesaver has chemicals that dissolve in water therefore causing it to dissolve.
