Now that Easter is over we've hit the apex of the candy season and we're descending into the vast wasteland of summer candy. Don't get me wrong; wax bottles, salt water taffy and orange slices all have their place in the candy lexicon, but honestly, it's not a very exciting time of year for candy. Having said that, I was pretty psyched to see these Summer Edition Pina Colada Tic Tacs.
I'm generally not a fan of the coconut/pineapple combination, but since these are so different I decided to give them a try. They actually have a nice balance of pineapple and coconut upon first taste. The thing is, though, I usually don't like it when fruit flavors are combined with mint. I suppose they need the mint to fit into the Tic Tac mold. (These actually brought to mind Dynamints-- remember those? They were like Tic Tacs, only the box was horizontal and they came in grape and lemon and lime flavors.)
Anyhow, I certainly would have preferred straight fruit flavor, but the mint does freshen ones breath, so who am I to complain?

Where did you happen to find them? I haven't seen them anywhere!
I found them at Stop and Shop. They were in a free-standing display in the front of the store.
I have seen them at rite aide and walmart only so far, going to get some tomorrow.. orbit has pina colada gum now too
Do you know of any where I can order them online? Found them once at Publix, but would like to have 7 more boxes. Need ASAP. Thanks!!!
I bought some when I saw them @ my local Kroger, but I haven't seen them again, and I want some more.
Bought some the other day. They're okay on the outside, but weird when you bite into them. I won't be buying them ever again.
they are at the 99 cent store now :-
