Peppermint was the first in 1913.
In 1919 they added Wint-o-green, Clove, Licorice, Cinnamon, Violet and Chocolate.

The Five Flavors fruit roll, debuting in 1935, had
lemon, lime, orange, cherry, and pineapple.
Noble started his own candy company and began producing and selling the mints known as Pep-O-Mint Life Savers.

By 1919, six other flavors (Wint-O-Green, Cl-O-ve, Lic-O-Rice, Cinn-O-Mon, Vi-O-Let and Choc-O-Late) had been developed, and these remained the standard flavors until the late 1920s. In 1920, a new flavor called Malt-O-Milk was introduced. This flavor was received so poorly that it was discontinued after only a few years. In 1925, the tinfoil was replaced with aluminum foil.
