Once home, I saw that these new Tic Tacs are made with artificial sweeteners, which lowers the calorie count. I do worry, though, all sweets made with artificial sweeteners seem to carry that warning: “Excessive consumption may produce laxative effects.” It really puts me off. I know sugar isn’t ideal either, but I always end up wondering how many sweets count as excessive.
Anyway, I gave one a try. The flavour was a little more sour than I expected, with the lemon shining through first. This then developed into a sweeter raspberry taste, and it made for a pleasant, fruity sweet. I liked them and ate five, then decided to stop. But these are a nice sweet treat, and the pack isn’t too big to fit in my handbag either, which makes them perfect for travel, much like regular Tic Tacs.
I know that you need to eat loads of artificial sugared sweets before you get into trouble. Nevertheless, I do not like artificial sweetener, it leaves an unpleasant after taste I find. Not something I would buy as I don't like fruit flavoured sweets that much. I prefer mint and caramel flavours. Regards, Nicolet, Rotterdam The Netherlands
ReplyDeleteI don't mind sweetener in drinks, but there is something about the warning on packets of sweets that really puts me off. I do love mint too.
