Yes, but I don't consider mints to be candy.

I used to get orange tic tacs all the time as a kid too.  Once I stored a dead tick in a tic tac container.

@Diamond: did you also place a twig and a leave in the container to recreate its natural habitat?

I think tic-tacs are gross lol. I also feel like you would have to eat a whole container to equal one mint.

Tic-Tacs for sure = candy, mostly because they don't make your breath smell all that great and it is easy to eat a lot at once.

Actually I buried the case in the yard about 1 inch deep during the winter (there was snow as well as dirt).

Not going to lie, I take all of it down in a single moment.

Swallow 'em hole.  So cheap and good.  Orange is my favorite.

I have no clue.  Buried the box around 1989, we moved away from that place back in 1994.  I remember specifically wondering if the box would surface one day, I think I probably looked for it after winter, never saw the thing again.

But the best part is to bite them and release their taste! BITE THEM! I wish I had a giant orange tic tac to bite every day forever!

Nope.  They're not candy and I don't consider them to be.

I get that some people like to pop those things all day long but they're just not that pleasant to me.  I might have one if I think my breath needs it but otherwise I'm not messing with them.

True story: My dad, back when he was still in college, was living in Aspen trying to make some cash so he could be a ski bum for a year or two.  At one point while he was there he took a job with a cleaning service that would pick up a lot of big name clients.

One day dad is told by his boss that he needs to go out to one particular house with an owner that's known to be a little eccentric, so he needs to watch his back.  My dad thinks to himself "whatever, I'm not really concerned."

He gets out to this house and lets himself in when no one answers the door.  The inside of the place is a huge wreck.  Feeling overwhelmed by how messed up the house is, my dad proceeds to start washing a stack of dishes in the kitchen.  There's a gun or two laying around, bongs...clearly this is a guy who takes his partying very seriously.  Anyway, dad's busy with some dishes when he hears someone moving behind him.  He turns around and sees Hunter Thompson with a baseball bat raised up over his head, and he looks furious.

"What the fuck are you doing in my house?  Get the hell outta here!" (I think that's what he said, my dad was too scared to really remember the exact quote haha)
Dad manages to to convince him that he's with the cleaning service and Thompson chills out some.
"Well, just don't steal any drugs you find."  And with that Hunter disappears into the back of his house.  Dad says he found a lot of weed lying around and various pill bottles containing who knows what.

I wish Thompson was still around; he's one of my all time favorite writers.

No, I just consider it as a different sub-genre of eatables. Tic-tacs branch down from mint-candy for me.

I find the Orange Tic-Tacs as candy but if its a mint, spirament, cinnamon, etc...I see it as a breath mint.

The fruit flavored ones are candy, the rest are mints.  Am I the only one who remembers grape-flavored tic tacs?

Nobody will ever convince me that orange Tic-Tacs are not candy.

It might have grown into a Tic-Tac tree by now.

The orange ones are candy and the white ones are breath mints.  They had grape tictacs?
