Heyhey, it’s #TicTacTuesday!! The 116th variety added to the Tic Tac collection: Banana & Tangerine. These tiny little packs come to us all the way from India (manufactured in Pune). Weighing in at only 9.7g per pack, they are certainly the smallest ones I’ve seen, aside from those super-mini 3.9 gram ones that you can get in a giant “Spender” box at Airport Duty Free shops.
The label mentions the possibility of winning “Great Music Prizes” but there is no explanation anywhere of how to do so. I assume these were in a larger package that included the info? Maybe? The backwards 16th-notes on the label bother me, I’ll just say that. Also, what is up with the random square with the green dot in the center? What is that for?
As far as flavor goes, these are pretty tasty. Both flavors include real powdered fruit juice, so that’s nice. The banana flavor is rather overpowering but it tastes like your standard Banana Runts. The tangerine flavor is really delicious. If you are hooked on the Orange packs, such as myself, this flavor offers a yummy alternative that doesn’t disappoint.
Rating: 4/5
The square with the green dot in the center means it’s vegetarian! In India almost 35% of the country doesn’t eat meat products, hence the marker.
