Question

How many tic tacs can I consume daily?

Community Answer

Usually as many as you want, just don't eat more than two boxes. It won't make you sick, but that's unhealthy!

Question

My tic tacs are all over the floor now after I turned it upside down and opened the little flap. What did I do wrong?

Community Answer

You may have opened the flap too quickly. If the upside-down method doesn't work for you, you can always go back to opening it right-side-up and shaking one out into your palm.

Question

Where can I find Spearmint Tic Tacs?

Community Answer

You're out of luck, if you live in the United States. The company that makes Tic Tacs says it recently discontinued the following flavors: Spearmint, Cinnamon, and Melon Mango. They are no longer available in the U.S.

Question

Why does my packet not have an oval in the flap?

Community Answer

It was most likely a manufacturing mistake or, maybe, if it is a limited edition flavor it could have been 'specially designed'.

Question

What do I do if I choke on a tic tac?

Community Answer

You shouldn't because of how small they are, but if you do, call 911 or give yourself the Heimlich. If it's just stuck in your throat, drinking water might even help.

Question

Why does a Tic Tac burn when pressing it against my tongue?

Community Answer

Pretty much any kind of mints burn when you press them against your tongue. It's just the way the menthol interacts with the receptors in your tongue.

Question

Can I use Tic Tacs for recipes?

Community Answer

Yes you could, but it’s better to melt or powder (pulverize) them first, if not they will stay hard, unless that's the texture you want. If you're using the peppermint flavored series, they will give a strong minty flavor, so be sure that's the flavor you want.

Question

How many Tic Tacs do I have to eat to meet my daily calories?

Community Answer

You shouldn't eat just Tic Tacs to meet your calories, but you would need to eat between 1,334 and 1,667 Tic Tacs. Please do not do this, though! Tic Tacs contain aspartame, which should only be consumed in moderation.

Question

What happens if I swallow multiple Tic Tacs whole?

Community Answer

Probably nothing. If you were to take quite a lot, the sugar and maltodextrin could have a laxative effect.

How long does a Tic Tac's plastic box last if I want to keep them because of the sentimental memories attached to it? Specifically, the orange one. I’d like to keep it forever.

Probably a couple years. You can take the wrapping off, rinse it, keep it, maybe use it for candy.
