I mean the orange/lime and cherry/passion ones. Nothing weird involving mint? Or will bad things happen? I've got 2 big boxes both half full and i'm thinking of mixing.

I think green are contraindicated for use with orange.
If you take pink and orange thats okay -but you need a 4 -6 hour gap between green and orange.
Only 6 pink ones in a 24 hour period.
Follow these guidelines and you'll be fine.Flout them,and tic tacs will be withdrawn from the shelves forever.

(Ps mint ones can be eaten freely)

mint ones can be eaten freely

It might be like what happebed when they mixed McFly and Busted. Beautiful music! Just need to work out which ones need to be sucked together. Then do the same with tic tacs.

When you're going to eat them, surely you'd separate them into different colours - the same as when you eat Smarties?

hairypaws · 04/05/2015 10:09

You would need to be very, very careful with the mixing process. You can't just church one box in the top of the other as you would be left with one flavour on top. You really need to decant both in a bowl, mix thoroughly and then pour back into one box.

So glad I've seen this, I was thinking of mixing apple and cherry. I now see the foolish error of my ways and will bury them under the patio (in separate boxes of course)

TalcAndTurnips · 04/05/2015 10:22

I remember cinnamon flavour. That messed with your head a bit.

My brother and I used to pretend that they were space-age lunch pills - cinnamon was the apple pie one. I don't remember any Roast Beef Tic Tac however, so those particular astronauts must have had a diet of unrelenting sweetness.

YouPooPooBumBum I'm reporting your post for containing perverted images. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

And londonrach's post hS just made me realise to taco look like alien eggs. Run! Run for the hills!

SoupDragon · 04/05/2015 10:24

Fucking autocorrect. TicTacs. no tacos were involved.

TiggyD · 04/05/2015 10:27

I'm in richmond park. Should be enough room here to experiment without hurting bystanders.

Tiggy, you leave those lovely McBusted boys alone!

And go careful on the mind-alterning stimulating substances - no more tictacs for you today, ma darling Brew

RunRunAsFastishAsYouCan · 04/05/2015 10:31

I am switching Sky News on now to watch it live.
What are you wearing?

TalcAndTurnips · 04/05/2015 10:32

Tiggy - do not, repeat not give any TTs to any passing deer in the locale.

Tic Tacs are like crack cocaine to deer - they're still recovering from the Fenton business.

flamingtoaster · 04/05/2015 10:43

You could try phoning the Chemistry Department of Oxford or Cambridge to see if there is any up-to-date data on mixing the various flavours. Personally I would ask Heston Blumental.

Moln · 04/05/2015 10:51

OP is there anyone with you?

You need to get help immediately. Approach a stranger if you're alone. Explain what you want to do and they will understand the importance of making an immediate intervention.

I just KNEW this sort of thing was on the cards when tic tac mixing was allowed. Segregation was perfectly ok, why did they stop the separation. Why!!!!!!

TheoriginalLEM · 04/05/2015 10:54

Tic tacs remind me of those vile sugar coated contraceptive pills and make me gag.

TiggyD · 04/05/2015 10:55

Lime and cherry ~ no ill effects. Yet.

Will write to the tic tac people when i'm home to ask what research they've done.

... Although i'm pretty sure i can't get pregnant now. Must find McBusted and check.

tiggy, if you become pregnant we ALL need to be fairy godmothers! Grin

stubbornstains · 04/05/2015 11:04

Somebody on my antenatal thread found one in her bra.....yet no tictac consumption had occurred within the previous 24 hours. Flavour unspecified, although I assume mint, as the default. Evidence of teleportational ability?

Crocodopolis · 04/05/2015 12:23

If I hear reports of UFO sightings / spontaneous combustion / Yetis in the Richmond Park area I'll know who to blame thank.

FruChristerOla · 04/05/2015 15:41

"tiggy, if you become pregnant we ALL need to be fairy godmothers! Grin"

Oh yes, fab idea Pacific; may I wear my fairy princess dress whilst eating Smarties at the christening? Grin

PeppermintCrayon · 04/05/2015 15:58

I think you need to count them all separately to be sure you have the correct ratios.

You should also check with environmental health.
