Tic Tac Peppermint

Tic Tac Peppermint is a globally recognized breath mint known for its signature flip-top plastic container and the distinct 'clicking' sound it makes when opened. Originally introduced by the Italian company Ferrero in 1969 under the name 'Refreshing Mints,' it was rebranded to 'Tic Tac' in 1970 to capitalize on its unique acoustic experience.

Manufacturing of Tic Tac mints is highly decentralized to support its presence in over 100 countries. Significant production hubs include Cork, Ireland—which accounts for approximately 35% to 45% of global supply—as well as facilities in Italy, Australia, Canada, India, and Ecuador. The brand is owned by the Ferrero Group, a massive private Italian confectionery company that also manages iconic labels like Nutella, Ferrero Rocher, and Kinder. As of 2026, Ferrero remains one of the world's largest sweet-packaged food companies, continuing to innovate with new formats and flavors while maintaining its headquarters in Piedmont, Italy.
