Tic Tac has announced that the recent comments about its product are “completely inappropriate.”
In a leaked video from 2005, Donald Trump said he needed to “use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her,” after seeing TV’s Days of Our Lives star Arianne Zucker.
“You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.”

The video was released by the Washington Post Friday afternoon.
Tic Tac denounced the comments and tweeted that the company “respects all women” and found the “recent statements and behaviour completely inappropriate and unacceptable.”
Trump first said the comments were “locker room comments” but later apologized in a video posted to Facebook, saying he has “said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them.”
The breath mint company isn’t the only one to publicly distance themselves from the Republican U.S. presidential candidate since Friday’s incident.
The list of elected Republican officials who want Donald Trump to abandon his presidential campaign or say they will not vote for him, is growing. Some have even called for him to drop out of the race.

Even his partner on the presidential ticket blasted Trump for the statements.
“I do not condone his remarks and cannot defend them,” Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said in a statement Saturday.
