Tic Tac has always
been our go-to-snack during boring college lectures, exciting football matches
and cute and casual movie dates. This two calorie Tic Tac mint is famous all
over the world for its exclusive and fresh minty taste. In 1969 the world was
blessed with the various Tic Tac flavours, and we have been enjoying it since
then. It has come a long way since its invention, and each year Tic Tac sales
have boomed tremendously. At one point
in our lives, we all have had a container of Tic Tacs hidden from our friends,
shaking in our pocket. You can pop one in your mouth for instant fresh breath
or be a maniac like me and gobble 5-6 at a time because why not?
The generation z
today use it to get away with the smell of cigarettes or alcohol since it
provides instant freshness and saves the person from the embarrassment. Today
all the Tic Tac flavours have a crazy fan following. Even though you must have
popped them a lot in your life, we bet there are some things about these
exciting mints that you do not know. Let’s be real, do you know anything about
Tic Tacs beside the fact that they are tiny mints that come in various other
flavours to give you the fresher breath than ever? No? Right? Well, it is fine;
we did not know them either. But now that we know, we think we should share the
shocking facts about them just like we always share our Tic Tacs with our
friends.
So without wasting
more of your time, let's excite you with a few of its outstanding facts that
would make you want to buy Tic Tacs in
bulk and devour them while doing literally anything or maybe nothing.
1)
Tic Tac and nutella makers are
same
There is no
denying to the fact that we are crazy Nutella fans, we can just pair it up with
anything and can simple eat it directly from the jar to satisfy our instant
chocolate cravings. Nevertheless, the fact that Nutella and Tic Tac producers
are same make us all much bigger of a fan of both the things. Ferrero, the
Italian confectioner, is the producer of Tic Tacs, Ferrero Rocher, Nutella and
Kinder Chocolates. It is time we bow down to this amazing man for blessing our
world with such delightful treats.
2)
They were called refreshing
mints
It was when
they only had one product in the market, and the creative juices were not
really flowing in the market; particularly at the stage of product naming.
However, just a year later, the name was then changed to Tic Tac. There is a
weird ideology behind this name, and it is the sound that the mints make in the
plastic container. If you have one right now with you, try shaking it, and you
will hear them calling their own name, how very thoughtful of the creators.
3)
There is a particular way of
eating them
This one is
pretty surprising, as we are sure, nobody before has thought of a specific way
of taking Tic Tacs, we all just pop them into our mouths. Well, now when you
are about to eat them, make sure you are following a particular way. The design
under the top flap was created to let the single Tic Tac to be released on your
hand, and then you can take it to your mouth. However, if you still want to go
with your old style, you are free to do that.
4)
History of grape flavour
The red
coloured amaranth that was procured for the flavoured grape mint was thought to
have an alleged carcinogen in it. However, in 2014 they released the grape
flavour again made from the safe and secure ingredients; therefore now they are
pretty safe to eat.
5)
Only white Tic Tacs are sold in
other countries
It is one of
the other surprising facts of the Tic Tacs, while you are buying Tic Tacs you
must know that originally your Tic Tac is white, but the containers that they
sell in are in different colours. So you may think you are buying orange
flavoured Tic Tac, but in actual they are just plain white ones.
6)
Breast Cancer awareness
The pink
grapefruit flavour is not just a flavour, but they are also spreading the
awareness of breast cancer through it. You can only find this flavour from
August to October, and the fact that they have this noble cause attached to
them makes us love it more than ever.
7)
They are gluten-free
If you are
gluten intolerant but a Tic Tac freak then we have good news for you. The Tic
Tacs are sans gluten so now you can have as many as you want.
