As a subject matter expert in the field of confectionery and material science, I can tell you that Wintergreen Lifesavers are a type of candy with a distinctive mint flavor. They do not inherently produce sparks or any other form of ignition. The sparks you might be referring to are likely a metaphorical expression used to describe the strong, cooling sensation that the wintergreen flavor can produce in the mouth. This sensation is due to the menthol content in the candy, which stimulates the cold-sensitive receptors in the mouth, creating a cooling effect.
