The lemon-lime flavoured and Sprite-branded Tic Tacs have been coloured yellow and are packaged with green labels. The drinks were launched with three pack variants and four different size and weight options.
“Our successful partnership with The Coca-Cola Company marked the coming together of two of the iconic global food and beverage brands,” Ferrero global marketing manager Scott Perry from the global Tic Tac team. “Both brands are loved worldwide for bringing great-tasting goods to market. We’re always on the lookout for how to boost consumers’ senses even further, so the opportunity to create the first-ever Tic Tac inspired by the distinctive taste of Sprite, was too good to miss.”
This is the second collaboration between The Coca-Cola Co. and Ferrero. In 2019, the companies launched Tic Tac Coca-Cola. In a similar manner, that joint product was rolled out to 70 countries in three dual-branded packaging variants.
Earlier this week, Anheuser-Busch InBev and Mexico-based food manufacturer Industrias Tajín launched a Chelada drink sold under the beer giant’s Bud Light brand.
