Tic tac’s were introduced in 1969. The original flavors were only orange and mint.


Here are your five food facts about Tic Tacs:

1. Since 1980, the Tic Tac slogan has been “The 1½ Calorie Breath Mint”..

2. Tic Tacs were originally named “Refreshing Mints,” but the name was changed to reflect the sound of the mints shaking in their container.

3. They currently are sold in over 100 countries in dozens of flavors.
