  2. I know "Tick Tacks" as very little peppermint candy - but I think, W., that´s not what was in your mind?! I love the three and a half men and their attitudes too - funny and seroius at the same time.

  4. Tick tack men used to send a coded message to the bookmaker about the betting at race tracks etc. Not sure they do still with the advent of mobile phones and other technology. Its a kind of sign language.
