They're fine, nothing to get too excited about. At first I thought there was something wrong with them, never read the package. Wonder if the prices went up (I didn't buy them).

Prices don't need to go up. There's less of them in the container so you'll go through them faster anyway.

Exactly, a clever marketing trick.

They may have a tiny bit more calories (oh no 0.3 more calories!) and come fewer to the package, but who ever just ate 1 of the little tic tacs anyway?

yeah, most people that buy the orange ones eat the whole box within 5 minutes

the other flavors, you usually take 3-5 at a time

i thought you were talking about the ones that are the size of a spree or starlight mint. they come individually wrapped, so i don't like them for that reason

didn't notice they got bigger in the little plastic containters

They need to make large, Spree sized version of the Orange Tic-Tacs. That's the best orange flavor ever.

Me, I don't care for tic tacs. I prefer the X-it mints, 100 mints for about $2.15, and they have guarana in them. And they are 0 calories if that matters to anyone.

I definitely agree with the orange. :)

and with the other flavors, who is going to eat only 1 now that they are 30% larger? People will still take 3-5 at a time.
