> They're breath mints, not candy.

Based on what? I think they're definitely candy.

Common sense? Or if you need proof that it's not just me:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tic_Tac

"Product type: Breath mints"

Actual candies tend to be larger, like peppermints, or else you eat a bunch at once, like Nerds. Tic Tacs literally come in a tiny sturdy dispenser box because they're breath mints designed to keep with you for days/weeks. Not a cardboard box to consume in one or two sittings.
