Tic Tac Dropped A New Strawberry & Cream Flavor And It's Sending Us Down Memory Lane

tic tac flavorstic tac flavors

Tic Tac ® is back with a brand new flavor: Strawberry & Cream! Combining notes of sweet berry with a fresh minty aftertaste, this flavor is the perfect mint to pop on any occasion. I got to try it myself at the Tic Tac experience at the end of April.

Tic Tac gave fans the opportunity to immerse themselves in a 360-degree multi-sensory experience at the Chelsea Market in New York City. From a gigantic trivia wall, to a live performance by Tayla Parx, my senses were ignited in the sweet-scented room. The pink walls and pill-shaped accents were also clearly inspired by the new flavor, and I couldn’t help but binge on my personal pack as I strolled through the venue.

Tic Tacs remind me of my childhood. When my mom would give me a dollar a day, I would spend part of my earnings on a fruit-flavored pack. Even RuPaul Charles is a fan. The queens who make it to the top four of his drag race competition earn a "Tic Tac Lunch," where they sit and discuss their childhood over a singular orange Tic Tac.

He and I share the same favorite Tic Tac flavor, which made me curious about how I would rank the others. Based on some of the flavors that were available on the Tic Tac Wall (pictured above), here's how I would rate them:

5. Big Berry Adventure

Despite absolutely loving the color palette of this Tic Tac flavor, the taste is not my favorite. To be fair, I don't like berry-flavored anything, but I find the flavor on this Tic Tac to be a little bit sour. If that's your taste palette though, then totally go for it!

4. Wintergreen

Tic Tac Fresh Breath Mints in Wintergreen, 12 Count, Amazon

Ahh, the classic Wintergreen mint — you gotta love it. This is my go-to Tic Tac flavor for first dates and impressions. It has an almost spicy-mint flavor that freshens you breath and heightens your senses. The only reason why I didn't rank it higher is because I prefer their sweeter, fruitier flavors.

You get the best of both worlds with the Fresh Mint Tic Tac flavor. It starts off sweet as a marshmallow, and ends with a minty boost so you get a candy and a mint in one. It's simple and very effective. It would honestly be number one if I preferred the minty aftertaste to the sweet introduction.

2. Strawberry & Cream

This browser does not support the video element.

Not bad for a new Tic Tac flavor! This flavor starts off sweet and ends off minty, which is all you can ask for from a mint candy. The Tic Tac Experience also definitely enhanced the flavor. There's nothing like taking a ride on a strawberry-printed Tic Tac cart.

1. Orange

Tic Tac Orange Flavored Mints, 12 Count, Amazon

Not to sound dramatic, but something magical happens when my tongue meets an orange-flavored Tic Tac. It's the perfect balance between fruity orange and sweet vanilla: Warm, friendly, and inviting, just like the color.

“Our fruit flavors continue to be fan favorites, so we are thrilled to launch Strawberry & Cream through our inaugural Tic Tac Experience,” said Endri Shtylla, Marketing Director, Tic Tac at Ferrero USA, Inc. “Tic Tac has had a successful year holding a top spot in the mint category and we’re proud to continue to deliver innovation to our fans and have them interact with the brand in a refreshing and exciting new way with this branded pop-up experience.”

You can try a single pack of the new Strawberry & Cream flavor for $1.59, or in bottle form for $3.79. It is currently available in stores and online.

The alcohol section at Trader Joe’s is about to quake in fear of me, because they just dropped a drink based on their very best dessert. And trust me, I can verify that – it’s a sweet treat I enjoy pretty much every single day. Now that I know it’s coming in a sippable form (and alcoholic, nonetheless!) I will need approximately 20 cans to stock up.

Scroll on to discover the new “must-try” Trader Joe’s alcoholic drink inspired by their best dessert around.

@traderjoesnew

Yep, I’m speechless. Trader Joe’s just put a Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter on their shelves, and it looks insane. Going off the design of the cans, it’s quite obviously based on the grocer’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups – a treat I keep in my cupboard no matter what.

Trader Joe's

I’m not kidding when I say I eat this TJ’s dessert on the daily, either. The cups come in the perfect small size for snacking that I typically peel one open after lunch, and one after dinner for a perfectly-dosed treat. Other than that, I think these cups pair wonderfully with vanilla ice cream as a topping, or even chopped up and baked into cookies!

Back to the porter, though. Per photos shared by Trader Joe’s fan account, @traderjoesnew, the drink is an “imperial porter with peanut butter and natural flavors." The 16-ounce cans are sold in a 4-pack for $15, and each one measures 9.2% alcohol by volume. Whew! One drink will absolutely set you right.

Eva Bronzini / PEXELS

Similar to stouts, porters are famously known for their rich, malty flavor profile with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and caramel – so it’s only right that TJ’s whipped up this peanut butter cup-inspired bev.

@traderjoesnew

Some Trader Joe’s fans that caught @traderjoesnew’s post about the porter flavor weighed in on the new launch.

“Honestly these were really good,” one person said.

“I love sweets and dark beer; did these beers in my 20’s but in my 40’s there’s way too much going on in this,” another shopper commented. “My suggestion: share the pint with 2-3 others. It will be a boozy sweet bomb.”

Meredith Holser

Whatever your preference for alcohol is, if you can’t resist a sweet treat, I'd say Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter is totally worth a try.

Instead of checkered print nails, take a walk on the wild side with Olive & June's bandana chrome nails. They're not as "girly" as our other easter nail idea picks, but you'll definitely have a great time wearing them the more you spend time in the sun.
