This is nice, but Stuffed Puffs needs to figure out a way to stuff chocolate AND graham cracker bits into its marshmallows. Or maybe a graham cracker swirl, like you’d find in a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)
Let’s be real, a Coca-Cola flavored Tic Tac might seem pretty bizarre, but “things go better with a Coke.”
As someone who has consciously tried to curb my soda intake, I gotta say, it’s nice to get that cola flavor back in my life in any form.
I actually have an exact flavor match in mind, and I’m going to try to explain it.
It’s definitely Coke, but it’s not as powerful and sweet as taking a swig of the soda itself.
You know when you pour a fresh Coca-Cola over ice, and then take that first fizzy effervescent sip where the little bubbles explode out of the glass and onto your nose? It’s like a slightly watered down, extra carbonated form of what’s to come. That is the flavor of these Tic Tacs.
Does that make sense?
These “mints” taste like they’re about 80% of the way to true Coca-Cola flavor.
They’re addicting. I’ve always been a four Tic Tacs at once kinda guy, but I found myself, perhaps unironically, drinking these straight from the bottle.
I couldn’t find these at Target, so I had to buy them on eBay. That’s how irresistible the rattle of Coca-Cola Tic Tacs was for me. I may have paid a bit more, but I’m not mad about it.
I’d say these are just on the cusp of being a top tier Tic Tac. Orange Mint and the first two seconds of Peppermint (when they taste like vanilla) will forever be the kings.
These might seem like strange bedfellows, but if you want Coca-Cola flavored candy with a very subtle mint finish, you know where to look. Who knows, by the time you find these, there might also be Pepsi Altoids and RC Certs.
If you’re lucky enough to have them on hand, Tic Tacs can also be used in TikToks. Why not add a little maraca to your awful dance videos?
Eh, I’m playing. At least you’re having fun. Stay safe.

I’m a bit disappointed Dale Jr.’s face isn’t stamped into the coating. I don’t know why, but I’ve always wanted to bite into Dale Jr.’s face. Am I a NASCAR driver cannibal? (Spotted by Robbie at Walmart.)
