The 2 calorie breath mint. That's right, Tic Tac. Tic Tacs are the small and powerful breath mint that gets your mouth feeling clean and fresh without taking in a lot of calories. Tic Tacs come in the small plastic box that are so familiar at the supermarket checkout. The first Tic Tac breath mint was produced in 1969 by Ferrero, one of the largest candy makers. They were packaged in a simple little case with a living hinge top. Each package contained approximately 36 mints and were known for the rattling sound they make when you shake them.
By the 1970's, the Cinnamon Tic Tacs made their appearance to much fanfare and led to even more flavors of this cute little breath mint. The small mints were originally just 1 1/2 calories until the 1990's when they increased in size and increased to 1.9 calories each. This meant even more fresh and clean flavor.
Tic Tacs have been extremely popular throughout their production run. In fact, they are now the most popular breath mint in the US and several other countries around the world. Millions of people every single day enjoy the fresh and clean feeling they get when they eat a simple Tic Tac breath mint.
