Tic Tac cocktails?

The range of Tic Tac flavours now available is baffling. I was never a fan of the original mint flavours but always thought the Orange flavour was pretty tasty (thought I never ate as many as Paulie Bleeker in Juno, which according to tictac.com is just one movie that featured the product).

Now I see there are loads of flavours including Cinnamon, Cherry, Banana, Passionfruit and even Mojito! I won't be surprised to see Tequila Sunrise or G&T flavours. Presumably there's no white rum in the Mojito tic tacs so if they simply eliminate the booze portion, does that make the Orange tic tacs Screwdriver flavour?

A quick visit to their website and I learn they were developed by Ferrero in Italy in 1969. They were originally called Refreshing Mint (boooooring!) and was renamed Tic Tac in 1970 in reference to the distinctive clicking sound the pack makes as it’s opened and closed.

You can also play games, although I don't know who the hell would want to be a Tic Tac Ninja...
