Tic Tac

Tic Tac (stylized in lowercase) is a brand of small, hard mint manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero.

Tic Tacs are typically sold in small transparent plastic boxes with a flip-action living hinge lid.

[1] In 1970, the name was changed to Tic Tac, after the distinctive clicking sound made by the pack being opened and closed.

"[9] During the 1990s, "double packs" were introduced, featuring a regular Tic Tac container with two flavours inside.

"[12] Tic Tac sometimes provides limited editions to promote films and television shows,[13] such as a banana and mandarin flavour for the 2015 movie Minions.

[16] Thirty-five percent of the world's Tic Tacs are manufactured at the Ferrero factory in Cork, Ireland.

[26] This stems from the fact that a serving size is one 0.49 g mint, and the American Food and Drug Administration permits manufacturers to list sugar (or other nutritional components) as 0 g if they contain less than 0.5 g.[24] In at least some jurisdictions, the 0 g now features a footnote that clarifies "less than 0.5 g".
