When former President Donald Trump pulled out two containers of Tic Tacs to illustrate inflation, it was destined to be showcased on late-night television.
And that is exactly what Jimmy Fallon did on “The Tonight Show” Thursday.
Fallon joked about the props Trump held up while giving a speech in Asheville, North Carolina, Wednesday, per the HuffPost.
Trump held up a regular box of Tic Tacs as well as a smaller version of the breath mints.
“This is inflation,” he said.
“This is Tic Tac,” he added while shaking the smaller box.
“This is Tic Tac,” he said, shaking the other.
Fallon showed the clip of Trump then added a couple zingers.

“Then Trump said it’s very sad that China is spying on us through Tic Tac, we’ve got to ban Tic Tac,” Fallon joked.
“Speaking of Trump, a new report found that his support among the white working class has shrunk significantly,” Fallon said
“Basically, this is where he was,” he said, showing a larger box of Tic Tacs, “and this is where he’s at,” he added, showing the smaller one.
