National Tic Tac Day! Did you know? Tic tac’s were introduced in 1969. The original flavors were only orange and mint.
Tic Tac are usually sold in small transparent plastic boxes with a flip-action living hinge lid. Originally, Tic Tac were dyed specific colours for different flavours, although in many countries the transparent plastic boxes are now coloured and the actual Tic Tacs are white.
