Yup!! They are called Tic Tacs. At least that is what my mother used to give 
me when I was a kid. I don't know how many mornings I would say I was sick 
and she would give me two Tic Tacs and a glass of water, then send me to 
school! Imagine my surprise the first time I realized that Tic Tacs were 
candy!!! :)
