Because they make his hands look huge.

you mean those white hotdogs in his normal sized hands?

[-] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 53 points 5 days ago

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".

Whomever is running that company is a donor. Called it.

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.”

He only likes the white ones.

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

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

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

[-] RainfallSonata@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 8 points 5 days ago

Not now and not 20 years ago.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

they do not make your breath smell better. you need to brush your fucking teeth you disgusting piece of shit

[-] finley@lemm.ee 12 points 6 days ago

Because he’s crazy. In five minutes, it’ll be something else.

[-] Poach@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

I mean he did sell beans from the oval office. Or was that some kind of fever dream?

[-] TriPolarBearz@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

That event led me to the whole other world of non Goya products.

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

what if a shark stole his tic tacs ?

[-] thesporkeffect@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

If the shark was battery powered... Hoo boy

[-] JesusSon@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

What's the deal with Tic Tacs? I guess everyone forgot his love for beans

Nothing ever goes over your head, does it Drax?

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago

He learned inflation from a kindergarten teacher and meow he has to show everyone what he learned.

So you wanna play the cat game right meow?

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 5 points 5 days ago

Do I look like a cat to ya, boy?
