The Tictac conspiracy

Understood in full by the white suit
It was a secret complex sign
Those clad in the striped scarf
Commonly sat down to dine

Now known as the Tictac conspiracy
The pill with the ultimatum
Identity now never in doubt
As forever known it had become

Chuck it onto your tongue
Just one pop to freshen the breath
Revitalise that fusty palate
With looming sudden death

It was a special ITV twist card
Their tribute to Natalie Cooper
And so Ferrero 1946 of Alba
Became the ultimate party pooper

No matter how bad your breath
There’s cinnamon, lime and more
Spearmint, lime, wintergreen
Oops did Everton just score?

Thus a plastic coated pill
Joins Di Matteo, Houchen, Villa
Cup folklore with the white horse
All seen from Melling to Manilla
