Tic Tac Condemns Trump's Groping Remarks
- Huffington Post, Monday, October 10, 2016 8 AM
Tic Tac USA tweeted: “Tic Tac respects all women. We find the recent statements and behavior completely inappropriate and unacceptable.” The tweet was in response to a video from 2005 in which Trump can be heard saying he must have some Tic Tac breath mints before greeting actress Arianne Zucker, whom he was about to tape a scene.

Paula: hit the link to to the linked article above and read it OR google for Trump and tic tacs OR find any of a thousand sources and watch the video. Mr. Trump explicitly says he needs a Tic Tac in the video because he might kiss the woman in question, because he can't control himself around beautiful women, he just starts kissing them (not a direct quote but pretty close.)
“I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her,” Trump says about the actress who was on her way to pick him up for a Days of Our Lives appearance. “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.”
“And when you’re a star, they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”
You are missing the point. Just because he mention Tic Tacs doesn't mean Tic Tac has any responsibility for anything. That they think they have to make a statement about it is opportunistic on the backs of victims rather than letting it go and let him choke on his own words.
Paula: I'm guessing you have never worked in PR at a major corporation. The reason Tic Tac issued the statement via Twitter is because they were being *hounded* by reporters for a reaction/comment. I don't find it opportunistic at all and you are the only person who I have heard have that reaction.
Better Tic Tac hold up a mirror to these reporters who have nothing else better to do. This garbage needs to stop and one way is for companies like Tic Tac to end further memes about themselves as well to make a statement as such instead of just playing into their hands to hustle their product. They had nothing to do with this, nor would any mint, gum or any product/service mentioned or could be mentioned.
