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.

Be careful. The ones in the same boxes are safe...if you're feeling brave. But my sister tried Orange/ cherry and she hasn't...she hasn't been the same.

Go with caution.

The tic tack fruit festival pack, limited edition in summer 2013, contained all four of lime, cherry, passion fruit and orange, totally mixed up. A bad thing happened to me in a bus in Turkey when I cracked open a box of those little blighters. It was worth it though...

Will nobody think of the tic tacs? Sad

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 04/05/2015 16:37

Having consulted my colour wheel, I am convinced your suggested orange/lime and cherry/passion combo will tilt the planet dangerously away from its optimal tictacochromic axis. But harmony can yet be restored if you introduce some blackcurrant/blue raspberry.

HTH

STOP!

Back Away form the Tic Tacs!

People don't understand what their messing with here. They think it's just a tic tac. There's SCIENCE involved people. You want to be responsible for creating a mutant? You want to be the one people look at years from now when Tic Tacs take over the world? Huh? Do you?

PacificDogwood · 04/05/2015 16:44

Fru, Smarties, Smarties?? Really? Shock
That is just in poor taste and ill-considered on a thread about Tictacs, for goodness sake!

And yes, I agree with TheHappinessTrap, just because we can do something does not mean that we should

We have raspberry and strawberry Tic Tacs here. Kindred flavours though so I eat them all turn a blind eye.

S2 reported seeing apple cherry flavour but luckily he has had a sound upbringing and did not partake.

There are rumours of a popcorn flavour.

MxTiggyD · 04/05/2015 17:15

Mixing Smarties is kind of irrelevant as only the orange has any flavour.

Raspberry? Interesting. Where are you based on Earth?

TheVermiciousKnid · 04/05/2015 17:22

Fiderer! I haven't seen you for ages! I'll always be grateful to you for introducing me to The West Wing.

Fiderer · 04/05/2015 17:25

Tiggy I am in Forrin with a Teutonic twist.

There is a slight fizz to the strawberry and/or raspberry Tic Tacs which I can't quite identify. Here there is much fondness for "sour" sweets, maybe that's why.

Baffles me frankly. If I want to shudder there are so many other ways.

Good to see you. Hope you've kept up your poker skills.

TheVermiciousKnid · 04/05/2015 17:31

Ooh, game of poker?

Don't mix them if you do I have heard that the world would be over

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 04/05/2015 17:50

Putting a cherry tic tac in the same box as a lime tic tac? Meh. The real danger comes from putting any tic tac near a kit kat! That’s matter and anti-matter, people!! KA-A-H-BOO-O-OM!!!

It's ok, Maryz. We could just discuss Christmas instead. Less than 8 months away, you know!

Fiderer · 04/05/2015 18:02

Maryz What about mixing tennis balls then, eh?

StayGoldPonyBoy · 04/05/2015 18:04

I mix lime and cherry and orange and passion fruit. I like them better than with their cell mates. DH is very Hmm about it because it means I need two boxes every time.

I agree with Mary this thread is a disgrace. This type of thread would never have appeared in the old days.
I blame Moldies.

TheVermiciousKnid · 04/05/2015 18:17

I blame Mitmoo.
