The Tic Tac Sprite candies have been announced as a special edition product created by the Ferrero company in collaboration with The Coca-Cola Company to offer an alternative way to enjoy a familiar flavor.
The Tic Tac feature a vibrant yellow color with contrasting green labels on the exterior of the pack to make them instantly recognizable on store shelves. The candies boast a lemon and lime flavor as a great way to freshen breath or simply enjoy a small touch of sweetness throughout the day. The candies are arriving now in France with an additional 20 countries set to stock the flavor this year.
Global Marketing Manager at Ferrero Scott Perry spoke on the Tic Tac Sprite saying, "We’re always on the lookout for how to boost consumers’ senses even further, so the opportunity to create the first-ever Tic Tac inspired by the distinctive taste of Sprite, was too good to miss.”
