Tic Tac addiction

Is anybody else addicted to tic tacs?
On Friday I bought two packs of 100 tic tacs and ate them all that night. Yesterday I bought twelve regular packs of tic tacs and now I have about halve a pack left. I do this all the time, whenever I have tic tacs I just have to eat them.
Do you know of any health implications of having so many so often?
Sometimes I look at all the empy packets and think it can't be good

i think they're just one of those things that you just start eating and they're so little you don't actually realise what you're doing haha, i do it all the time...

today i ate a whole box of bubble gum and this is really terrible but i swallowed them all like i was eating crisps at some points. :| eek.

I couldn't imagine any serious health implications, but don't too many mints (of any kind) give you the squits?

I did, but then they stopped selling the orange ones :frown:

(now they do orange and green ones, and I don't like the green ones).

My name is Chris and I have been clean for two years. I used to be proper addicted to the freshmint ones. Used to buy them all the time, like daily. Then the sneezing began. Now I can't have them without this side-effect following straight after. Tic-tacs make me sneeze.

We all have our personal tragedies, I guess.

I started with a Polo now and then, thought it was fun, right? But nobody ever educated me about the dangers of gateway mints. Before I knew it, it had escalated to Trebor super-extra-strongs, and then I found the multi-packs... Just say no, kids.

Ahh the multipacks, they got me addicted :frown:

Still I love mint imperials. Crush one in your mouth and they're oh-so-juicy :yep:

So easy to eat a big packet.

Thanks for the replies.
I love Trebor extra strong mints as well.
I haven't really experienced any laxative effects thankfully, my stomach does make strange sounds when I've had a lot though.
The spearmint ones are my favourite, though I'm addicted to most flavours.

I suggest you invest in some Loperamide. Eventually you will experience the horrible laxative effect that is caused by having too many of them, and you'll want something to counter the effect!
