Ferrero, Tic Tac's parent company, has confirmed that there are no plans to bring Simpsons Tic Tacs to the U.S. (at least as of yet). Womp womp. However, packs are available on eBay.

After sending people worldwide into a frenzied search for Minion Tic Tacs last summer, the breath-freshening brand has clearly realized people are obsessed with the idea of seeing their favorite characters' faces stamped onto pill-shaped candies. Now, they're following up the Minions with another iconic yellow cartoon family: The Simpsons.
They come in three varieties—a Homer box, a Bart one and a Marge one (sorry, Lisa and Maggie fans)—and each one has a different flavor. For Bart, that's bubblegum. Marge gets an homage to her royal blue beehive, with blueberry-flavored candies. The Homer edition, however, seems like it will be the most coveted, as its flavor seems the most iconically Simpsons: Donut. Yes, donut-flavored Tic Tacs.
Unfortunately, the candies are currently only available in Europe, with packs popping up in France, the United Kingdom, Austria and Italy. We have reached out to Ferrero, Tic Tac's parent company, to see if the treats will eventually make their way stateside but haven't gotten a response just yet. (If and when we do, we'll let you know!)
It's a bummer, but don't have a cow, man. Even if you don't have a friend overseas who can mail you a pack, there's still a way to get your hands on them. Boxes are already popping up on eBay, selling for $5.83 for a single pack, or $22 for a set of all three flavors.
Candy collectors and fans are getting in on the action too, posting unboxing videos to YouTube like you would a beauty haul or iPhone 7.
Just don't let your jealousy over watching other people enjoy these candies cause you to grab someone by the neck, Homer Simpson-style.
