Tic Tac

Tic Tac (stylised in lowercase) is a brand of small, hard mint manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero. They were first produced in 1969 and are now available in a variety of flavours in over 100 countries. Tic Tacs are typically sold in small transparent plastic boxes with a flip-action living hinge lid. Originally, Tic Tacs were dyed specific colours for different flavours, although in many countries the transparent plastic boxes are now coloured while the Tic Tacs themselves are white. Tic Tac has featured advertising that emphasises the low calorie count of the mints. Most flavours have approximately 1.9 calories per mint.
