I can't remember, haven't eaten a tic tac for about half a century.

I keep them in the car. It never fails that I feel like I haven't
brushed my teeth in a year as soon as I get inside the car (doesn't
matter if I brushed just before leaving the house or not).

I can do it but because I used the containers wrong all these many years, I
still do it wrong usually. I did show this to Angela and her friends. But
that didn't stop her friends from eating an entire box of them at once.

I keep them in my van but I am not usually the one who eats them.
Invariably, the passenger sees them and asks about them. I have a little
slot there that holds 3 packs. Not sure what it is there for. I also keep
some Altoids in my ashtray along with some coins and a ratty looking bundle
of ponytail holder, hair net and bobby pins for making a ballet bun.

I also keep some Wisps in my console. Those are great if you forget to
brush your teeth or just feel like you didn't. I brought some to my dad
when he was recently in the hospital because at that point he was too weak
to stand up so couldn't brush his teeth.

Yeah. And then people hear them and ask you for one.

I remember when visiting Prague in the late 70's that Tic-Tacs had just been introduced for sale. This then being a communist country, they were the "cool" thing to have. They were produced locally, under license from their German maker. Other western brands of things (locally produced under license and widely available) were Coca Cola and Marlboro cigarettes...

Two packs in the center console. On a long drive the sugar boost is
good too.

I'm in awe. HOW do you get just *one* on the lid without pushing a
few back into the container?

It works. You just tip it back and it works. Most people just dump them
into their hand like I usually do.

I said I was in awe, because I've actually tried it more than once and
that wasn't the case for me.

I just tried it for the first time and it worked.
A Tic-Tac tale: When my youngest was about 3, he stuck one up his nose. You
can imagine the burning, stinging, crying, and screaming!
By the time we got to the pediatrician, it was mostly melted,so the doctor
flushed the rest of it with saline. She and the nurses couldn't help
laughing!

I don't like Tic Tacs, in their unimaginative noisy container.

PEZ dispensers are more fun. A girl I knew in JHS had a PEZ dispenser
dressed in tiny clothing, rigged to pop the candy out from a boy's
crotch, she always made sure to have an audience while partaking and
with exaggerated relish. She'd often have a girl share but the boys
wouldn't dare. hehe
There are giant vibrating pez dispenser dildos too.

But for breath freshening Choward's Violets work far better... and
they're such a *** shade. LOL

I got that book called "The Holes In Your Nose". I had read it to my
daughter and then my husband took her outside to play.

She came back in the house screaming, "Get it out! Get it out!" She had
stuffed a big bead up her nose. Not sure where it came from. I do beadwork
but this certainly wasn't one of mine. Husband and I had no idea how to get
it out. I had thought about tweezers but they frightened her.

We wound up dialing 911 and firemen came. Big, tall firemen. Their height
and booming voices frightened her so badly that all she could do was curl up
in my lap and cry even harder.

So they brought a woman in. A short little quiet woman. She just took one
look at her nose an applied pressure just above the bead. It shot right
out.
