Even Tic Tac Has Spoken Out To Denounce Trump’s Disgusting Comments

Source: Talking Points Memo

Tic Tac released a statement denouncing Donald Trump after a video leaked in which the Republican nominee said he used the candy to freshen his breath before forcing himself on women he found attractive.

“Tic Tac respects all women,” the company said in a Twitter post on Saturday. “We find the recent statements and behavior completely inappropriate and unacceptable.”

Surprisingly, this is not the first time a candy company has had to denounce the behavior of the Trump campaign. Skittles owner Wrigley released a statement informing Donald Trump Jr. that comparing refugees to poisoned skittles was not “an appropriate analogy.”

In September, the GOP nominee’s son shared a meme comparing Syrian refugees to a bowl of skittles that contained a few “that would kill you.”

Their brand is splashed all over the bus. It's almost like they sponsored Trump vile comments.

"Put a Tic Tac in your mouth and get a bang out of life."

Looks like Trump took it literally.
