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.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
