The 88th variety added to the Tic Tac collection at VOCOMOTION Studios: Apple Pie. These only appear to come in the larger “100 Pack” and are a bit scarce in the US right now. They’re being released for the Thanksgiving/Christmas season (as indicated by the “Stocking Stuffer Size” on the label), so their distribution might pick up over the next few weeks.
The color of these are a bit unusual and unique for Tic Tacs: brown. There’s a *bit* of red in the brown so they could appear to be dark orange depending on the lighting. I keep thinking these are pumpkin spice because of the color. Based on color alone, you could also imagine these being chocolate flavored.
The flavor is subtle, which is welcomed after some of the harsh over-flavored varieties like Green Apple. While it’s not advertised as such, these taste like they should be in the Tic Tac “Mixers” line. They start out with a light red apple flavor, then over time that morphs into a really light cinnamon flavor. You don’t get the warmth of apple pie spice though. In the second flavor, there’s a *very slight* hint of butter, which might come from the Tic Tac popcorn flavoring but without the bitterness. The ingredients do include “Dried Red Apple,” which is pretty cool.
RATING: 4/5
