Although we also get a broccoli floret and a tortilla and "some other thing."

... discussed the current price of Tic Tacs
Context:
Based on the provided search results, there is no data indicating that Tic Tac candy prices have lowered since Donald Trump was elected on November 5, 2024, or inaugurated on January 20, 2025.
Here is the context regarding this topic:
The "Tic Tac" Demonstration: During his 2024 campaign, Donald Trump used two different-sized Tic Tac boxes as a prop at a rally to illustrate "shrinkflation"where products cost the same or more but come in smaller packages.
Economic Context: As of late 2025, candy prices generally have increased, rising by 11% in 2025, which is notably higher than the overall rate of inflation, with specific examples like Tootsie Rolls and KitKats seeing 30% and 22% increases, respectively.
Post-Election Outlook: While President-Elect Trump pledged to resolve the "inflation nightmare" and lower prices quickly upon taking office in January 2025, some reports indicated that his proposed tariff policies might have the opposite effect on consumer prices, according to economists.
The Tic Tacs were used as a visual example of his campaign argument against inflation, rather than as a specific product that was successfully reduced in price through his actions as of the latest available 2025/2026 data.
