Usually something is cute because it’s smaller than your frame of reference. Kittens, those new tiny Altoid tins, little handbags, you know what I mean. I was hit with a backwards effect yesterday when I saw a box of Tic Tac Silvers at the drugstore. Tic Tac Silvers are basically larger Tic Tacs in silver wrappers. The box they come in is a large replica of the little Tic Tac box, about 4 x 7 inches. The effect is really amusing! Yes I bought one. Had to. Felt…compelled…by the cuteness.
