So, this sounds like a silly topic, but I figured with all the bank failures and credit card problems on the site, something light hearted might be nice.
I have noticed in the stores, there are NO cinnamon Tic Tacs anymore. I have tried various stores, and unless the tic tacs are old, no stores have them.
I HAVE seen a new Christmas Tic Tac that has cinnamon and mint (red + white), but that's it.
The rest of the world still gets cinnamon, which continues to be listed as a standard flavor on the Tic Tac website. So what's going on here? Has someone on Long Island horded the cinnamon delights or is there a trade embargo in effect?

My long lost-twin!
]]>Sadly, can only get UTZ Crab chips (potato chips with Old Bay seasoning) in Md./Pa./Del.
Yum, crab chips.
]]>So, you know, your beloved orange ones are safe from me.
]]>@ArcanaJ: That's nothing. I make the ingredients that I make my Tic-Tacs out of. At home, of course. Takes about 13 hours a batch (not including growing time for the sugar) but I save almost $0.98, so of course it's very important to inform the internet.
]]>@vladthepaler: Aw man. Could it be because they are disgusting and everybody realizes it?
]]>@h3llc4t has a slow work day: The orange ones aren't bad, but when I get then I find myself eating them more like candy than mints.
]]>@aloe vera: Pfft. Just got some in Clinton a couple weeks ago.
]]>They are real Aussie Tim Tams, though the special edition ones I still get from my Aussie friends I have a package (pepridge farms) here in Jersey but I can't remember where it's from. I believe last time I was hounding them they sold them in a Delaware food chain and south from there. And for some reason a winery down in south Jersey that my parents go to occasionally has real Aussie Tim Tams, seek and you will find. Thank god I don't live in OZ anymore or I'd be 500 lbs.
]]>In any case, why are we deprived of meat flavored potato chips in the US? The ones I bring back from the UK are half crumbs by the time I get them home.
]]>@The Porkchop Express: and 7-11 sometimes.
]]>@CoarseLive: they're in Florida now, at some publix locations.
]]>@339point4: Hey, we live in the same general area. No comment on the tic-tacs, though. I've never noticed.
]]>@_catlike_: Oh god, those are soooooo good.
]]>@Trance1861: Wintergreen is the most disgusting flavor EVER. I refuse to eat it in any form.
]]>@firemunkie: Yeah it's true, a lot of hispanic kids do tend to think spicy is a candy flavor and I know exactly what kind too lol. Although I'm part mexican I only really liked the limon lucas.
]]>For those not from Long Island, the island was formed as a glacier moved south. As it melted, it dumped rocks, silt etc.
]]>The 7/11 on Sunrise in West Islip used to have them all the time. Just sayin'. :)
]]>I also heard this as well about the cinnamon flavor does cause....
(Please don't touch the orange ones)
]]>Wait...
]]>I've seen them in Chicago before.
]]>you mean... someone would dare touch my TicTacs?
]]>@CoarseLive: they are the most popular chip/snack here in south texas. try em with nacho cheese. i remember bout ten years back there was a wheat shortage and fritos stopped make funyons and other chips just to stay up with the hot cheetos demand. hispanic kids grow up thinking spicy is candy, if you guys ever visit mexico about half the candy is cover in spicy powder similar to lucas (its a candy).
]]>@catniplover: I LOVE the orange ones, I have no clue why. Although Tic Tacs usually aren't my first buy when it comes to stuff like that, ice breakers all the way.
]]>But they always have orange - gross.
]]>I knew something was up with red tic-tacs! I have major problems finding them, as far as I know there are only 2 stores in my city that still sell them.
]]>@shockmonk3y: But the candy needs to be colored or else someone can mess with you by switching your delicous tic tacs. Imagine the horror of eating what you think will be an orange tic tac, only to discover it is wintergreen!!!
]]>Up there, they color the container, not the candy.
]]>If you're from Long Island bad breath is the least of your problems.*
*Said with love!
]]>I can report there are no cinnamon tic-tacs on the central Connecticut shoreline either (unless Walmart has them, but I'm not going to check there).
My advice to the OP is to write a letter to the maker of Tic-Tacs (Ferraro, according to wikipedia) and demand to know why there are no cinnamon flavored tic-tacs in your area. In my experience, such a letter will result in one of two things: a handful of coupons for tic-tacs (and no response as to why you can't obtain them in cinnamon flavor), or a case of free cinnamon-flavored tic-tacs.
Good luck. =)
]]>What gives with that?
