noun
1. A brand of
small, hard mints manufactured by the Italian confectioner Ferrero, and
available in a variety of flavors. The individual candy pieces are commonly
called Tic Tacs. Tic Tacs were first produced in 1969. They are usually sold in
small transparent plastic boxes with a flip-action living hinge lid.
Originally, Tic Tacs were dyed specific colors for different flavors. Now, in
many countries, the transparent plastic boxes are colored but the actual Tic
Tac pieces are white.
EX. Tic Tac is just one of those brands that is so synonymous that it has become part of our cultural zeitgeist; if a person has bad breath, usually for a comedic reason, someone will offer them a tic tac, for instance, rather than just a piece of gum.
Also, fun fact, my favorite Final Fantasy game is Tactics on the Gameboy Advance.
