Two nostalgic icons — Dr Pepper and Tic Tac — have officially joined forces for one of the most unexpected (and delightfully chaotic) flavor mashups of 2026. The new Tic Tac Dr Pepper Mints are rolling out nationwide as a limited‑edition release, bringing the soda’s signature “23 flavors” to a pocket‑sized mint format.
The collaboration was announced on February 12, 2026, with both brands promising a flavor experience that blends Dr Pepper’s unmistakable profile with Tic Tac’s signature layered mint technology.
A Pocket‑Sized Dr Pepper Experience
According to Tic Tac’s parent company Ferrero, each mint is designed to deliver the instant refreshment of a Tic Tac followed by the distinct Dr Pepper taste — a mix often described as cherry, cola, vanilla, and spice. The brand calls it a “flavor journey” rather than a traditional mint.
The mints come in the classic Tic Tac flip‑top box, now dressed in Dr Pepper’s iconic burgundy color palette.
Why This Collab Makes Sense
This isn’t Tic Tac’s first soda crossover — the brand previously launched a Sprite flavor — but Dr Pepper fans have been buzzing about this one since early teasers surfaced nearly a year ago. The official launch confirms that the hype was real, and early reviewers say the mints taste shockingly close to the soda itself.
Parade reports that the mints are available nationwide for a limited time, making them a must‑grab for collectors and soda superfans.
What Fans Can Expect
- Flavor: Dr Pepper’s signature 23‑flavor blend
- Format: Classic Tic Tac mint
- Availability: Nationwide, limited time
- Launch date: February 12, 2026
Ferrero says the goal was to merge “two powerhouse brands” into a single, nostalgic treat — and based on early reactions, they nailed the brief.
