Tic Tac are small lollipops made by the Italian company Ferrero .

history

In 1969, Tic Tac was first launched in the United States by Ferrero. The market launch in Germany took place in 1972, initially under the name "Refreshing", which was only renamed Tic Tac years later. Tic Tac is mainly available in three variants: Tic Tac Fresh Mint (1972), Tic Tac Fresh Orange (1975) and, since 2013, Strawberry Mix. Since 2003, limited summer and annual varieties have also been available. The new “tic tac” logo has also been used in Germany since 2007. Vitamin C has been added to the summer varieties of Tic Tac since 2006 . In the 2016 US election campaign, the Tic Tac brand received additional widespread attention worldwide due to a remark by Donald Trump .
