Because they were super popular in the 80s, and that’s where all of his cultural touch points are based.

Also when the only memories his brain is capable of recalling at this point are from.

Plus the rattle to keep him entertained on long plane rides.

It’s the noise when you shake it. Kind of like a squeaky toy that gets my dog’s attention. Trump just recently discovered that he can make it “squeak”.

I’m sure he also admires the company’s manipulation of food law. Tic Tacs boast about being a zero calorie treat. They actually contain 1.9 calories, but the USDA allows rounding to the nearest 5 when labeling calories, so they have “zero.”

Maybe I’m 20 years behind, but aren’t all tictacs white? The “green” and “orange” used to just come in coloured boxes, is that not the case anymore?

Edit: I’ve got some serious Mandela effect here it seems

Even 20 years ago the boxes were clear and the tic tac is colored. I think you just got it completely wrong.

I’ve never known that to be the case. The green and orange ones were always green and orange, and originally the boxes were clear.
