Rays of Positivity

In 2022 Tic Tac® had a refreshing makeover introducing the “Rays of Positivity”. Made from the iconic Tic Tac® shape and radiating out from the logo, they represent our idea to radiate good vibes, one Tic Tac® at a time.

100 layers of gentle freshness

With their recognizable shape, Tic Tac® pills look so simple, but simplicity is a matter of care! Each Tic Tac® takes 24 hours to produce, as each pill is perfectly shaped and coated. At the center, there is a gentle heart that is wrapped in 100 layers of flavour. The original freshmint blends mint essential oil, finished with a unique vanilla flavored touch.

Piedmont Mint: our special ingredient

Our Tic Tac® Freshmint tastes so good because of the unique peppermint that grows in Pancalieri, in the Piedmont region of Italy. The climate and soil there create a unique type of mint, which is delicately refreshing and uniquely delicious. The essential oil of mint is made with a low-steam distillation process with a traditional method, to deliver a special perfume, the refined taste, a sweet and rich profile.
