All in the Family

Tic Tacs are an interesting family. The family line started out with Mr. Spearmint and Ms. Peppermint. Both are very kind, loving, and gentle to the taste buds. And of course they have that wonderful minty freshness. The trouble began once they decided to get married and procreate.

Their firstborn was Wintergreen. Wintergreen is a nice upstanding Tic Tac. A fine light green color, and the same minty taste as his parents. There is a bit of zing in the taste, but still a fine Tic Tac. As the years went on, the descendants of Mr. Spearmint and Ms. Peppermint became a bit more eccentric.

Cinnamon was next. She is a bright Tic Tac with a fiesty spirit! Much loved by the masses, but if you get too close, you may get burned. Though she is somewhat rebellious, her parents are still proud of her today.

Then the twins came along. Orange and Lime. No one is quite sure what genes got mutated to bring about these two Tic Tacs, but nevertheless they are here. Neither Orange nor Lime have served the original purpose of their parents. There is no minty taste to accompany them, and they do not refresh the mouth. They have been quite a disappointment to their parents, but they are still part of the Tic Tac family, and will remain so.

Just remember, the Tic Tac family is here to serve you. Whether you like original mint, or some wacky flavor, there is a Tic Tac for you. It’s your job to find it!

Until next time, this is Kandy K..stay sweet!

Check out the family!
