Coca-Cola And Ferrero Collaborate To Launch Tic Tac Sprite

Ferrero and Coca-Cola have teamed up to launch a new product, Tic Tac Sprite.

The product was launched in France this week, and the partners plan to introduce it in 20 countries this year.

Some 1.5 million packs have gone on sale in France, along with in-store displays to support the campaign.

Tic Tac Sprite features yellow-coloured mints in a green, Sprite-branded packaging to complement the flavour. The product has been released in two different pack formats.

Previously, the two companies collaborated in 2019 to launch Tic Tac Coca-Cola in 70 countries, with three dual-branded packaging variants.

The Italian confectionery company and the American multinational beverage giant believe that the collaboration will capitalise on the popularity of the lemon-lime flavoured soda and the brand recognition of Tic Tac mints.
