Tic Tac Mint

Tic Tac is one of the world's most recognizable confectionery brands, famous for its small hard mints and signature flip-top plastic dispensers. The brand was first introduced in 1969 by the Italian confectionery giant Ferrero, originally under the name 'Refreshing Mints' before being renamed after the distinctive sound the container makes when opened and closed.

While the brand is Italian in origin, production is decentralized to serve global markets. Tic Tacs are manufactured in various locations including Alba, Italy; Cork, Ireland; Brantford, Canada; and Somerset, New Jersey. The brand is a core part of the Ferrero Group's portfolio, sitting alongside other iconic names like Nutella, Ferrero Rocher, and Kinder, remaining under private family ownership.
