TicTacs. Orange or Lime?

The correct answer would be orange of course. That would be the YANBU answer. Sweet and flavoursome without the bitterness of the green ones.

Lime loving freaks feel free to chose YABU. If you actually want to admit to it that is.

I miss the boxes with separate compartments for the orange ones and the other type. You knew what you were getting. No handfuls of green misery.

Do you remember when they were tangerine and lime? Now they were lush, you couldn’t get the tangerine ones separately though, so it was settle for orange on its own or suck up the lime!

Mysterian · 19/09/2020 18:33

I don't remember tangerine. I was only born in the 70s though.

Orange. Everything taste better if it's orange.

BiteyShark · 19/09/2020 18:36

Orange all the time.

Mandarin, i believe!

My dd2 says orange by the amount of lime ones she’s left for me.

UnalliterativeGeorge · 19/09/2020 18:38

Lime obviously. Green sweets are nearly always the best ones!

ultrablue · 19/09/2020 18:44

Oooh I love them both, sweetness followed by tanginess or visa versa

Pelleas · 19/09/2020 19:05

Tic tacs are the foulest of sweets.

Lime and orange - beyond the pale. If I had to eat one it would be mint, but I'd rather just squeeze toothpaste into my mouth.

@bishopgiggles

Mandarin, of course, thank you!!!

Obviously all the e-numbers I consumed as a child didn’t do much for my memory BlushGrin🤦🏻‍♀️

They released popcorn flavoured tic tacs last year... they were odd!

funnylittlefloozie · 20/09/2020 16:10

It has to be lime. You orange/tangerine/mandarin types are frankly whats wrong with society today!

AllPlayedOut · 20/09/2020 16:14

Definitely lime.

Brighterthansunflowers · 20/09/2020 16:21

Orange is the worst flavour of sweets!

Mysterian · 20/09/2020 16:25

I think you'll find the worst flavour of all sweets is "cola".

OP posts:
AllPlayedOut · 20/09/2020 16:27

Wrong. Cola sweets are amazing.

rosie39forever · 20/09/2020 16:28

When I was a kid we used to get red cinnamon flavour TicTacs they were lush but not around for very long .

Butchyrestingface · 20/09/2020 16:30

Sorry OP, I incline towards the lemon/lime side of the force?

ZarasHouse · 20/09/2020 16:31

The orange ones. I like the cola ones though so I obviously have duff taste buds and should not be trusted.

MrsClatterbuck · 20/09/2020 16:35

I remember getting cinnamon ones in Canada. You always got different flavours in most sweet. Loved the peanut butter M & Ms

RonObvious · 20/09/2020 16:36

Oh! I was just about to snottily comment “Don’t you mean tangerine?”, then I read the other posts. I didn’t know that tangerine tictacs were no longer a thing!

MrsClatterbuck · 20/09/2020 16:37

Also prefer the lime ones but I am also a fan of acid drops. Wish someone would bring them back.

geekone · 20/09/2020 17:33

They give me mouth ulsers

StillAlive76 · 20/09/2020 19:51

Green sweets are always the best ones, Green fruit gums, green gummy bears, green wine gums, etc. Closely followed by yellow THEN orange.

Saucery · 20/09/2020 19:53

Orange, because they taste close to Haliborange vitamin tablets, which you could only have one of a day.
