Yuck! Tic Tac Plans Hummus-Flavored Mints For Israel Independence Day

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky

Disgusting, brilliant, or possibly both?
Tic Tac announcedthat it will create limited edition hummus-flavored candies in honor of Israel Independence Day.
The chick pea-tinged mints will be given out on the holiday during celebrations on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv starting May 1. They’ll be available in grocery stores through the end of May.
Last year, the mint manufacturers created limited edition blue and white candies to celebrate Israel’s 68th birthday. We can hardly wait to learn what they’ll think up for 70.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
