\"Apple<\/a><\/p>\n

Tic Tacs \u2014 the little candy that pretends to be a breath mint, even though I doubt they\u2019ve ever freshened anyone\u2019s breath. I don\u2019t know about you, but my mouth feels worse when I have a Tic Tac.<\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t stop me from buying their holiday versions. Usually that means they just mix a few of their existing flavors into a new color scheme. But they\u2019re branching out more into new flavors.<\/p>\n

Hence the new Apple Pie Tic Tacs. I found them in the Christmas candy aisle (next to Candy Cane Tic Tacs), and the label says it\u2019s \u201cstocking stuffer size\u201d (because obviously regular-sized Tic Tacs are too small to fit in a stocking), but other than that, these don\u2019t scream Christmas. I associate apple pie more with Thanksgiving, so that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n

I find it a little odd that they\u2019re red, because when I eat apple pie, the apples are peeled, so it\u2019s just a mixture of whites and tans. But I guess beige Tic Tacs wouldn\u2019t sell well. The little apple pie drawing on the label looks like it could be full of giant red Tic Tacs (or else regular Tic Tacs in a tiny pie). Also, the apple on the label is green. Weird.<\/p>\n

When I pop one in my mouth, it just tastes like apple, fairly similar to Green Apple Tic Tacs. (Both kinds are made with dried apples, but these specify that they\u2019re dried red apples.) After I suck on it, other flavors kick in, though I can\u2019t tell what flavors. It\u2019s not really spicy, but it is vaguely reminiscent of pie. My niece and my sister said it tastes like Sugar Babies, but I didn\u2019t taste that.<\/p>\n

Regardless of what they taste like, these are good. Imma venture these are the best fruity Tic Tacs I\u2019ve ever had. In fact, I might go so far as to say these are the best Tic Tacs I\u2019ve ever had, period.<\/p>\n

But, at the end of the day, they\u2019re still just Tic-Tacs. They have no place on the Thanksgiving dinner table. But they will gladly be passed around afterward during the football game.<\/p>\n
