I was sure this was going to turn into mint slander by the end
i consider it slander to say it is “at home” in a fucking cigarette.
Blended into your favorite smokable herbs.
smokable, like how plastic is edible
I thought I didn’t like mint for the first 15 years of my life because of mint toothpaste.
I like mint in a lot of things, but I can’t stand mint toothpaste. Unfortunately, every other option I’ve tried has been even worse- fruit flavors, baking soda, etc.
Cinnamon?
They always make it too spicy. Like I don’t need to brush my teeth with Red Hots.
In theory, mint is great. But poor practice has me avoid it unless I prepare something with it myself.
Don’t forget it’s nice relieving properties. Stuffed nose and a sore throat? Mint green tea with a bit of honey. It’ll help ease the discomfort for a time.
Just be careful planting your own. Mint does not care. It will escape the pot, and next thing you know, there’s Chocolate Mint plants choking out the rest of the garden.
Chocolate Mint is also a wonderful variety to include if you’re looking into an herb garden. You can get some different mint varieties going, make a nice blend for things!
What if you just plant regular mint plants?
Of which type? There’s 32 in the family, including Catnip and Common Sage.
Mint is wild.
Mint can act as a perfect addition to an herb garden or as a prank gift to a first-time gardener that you hate. So versatile!
Even better as a prank gift, it’s so notoriously hard to kill and quick spreading, they won’t notice until it’s too late. Hell, they’ll probably think they’re doing a great job, since it’ll be thriving so long as they pay it the bare minimum of attention.
I think some places do actually have some light restrictions in place, purely because it’s so invasive it’ll fight back against kudzu. It’s just about a rung below kudzu on the difficulty to completely kill.
Mint: the plant that asks, what if kudzu was delicious?
Mint gets quite a few fungal root pathogens. Once those set in it will wipe it out in a few years.
I don’t recommend being near the field when they swath it. Clears your sinuses and burns your eyes.
Mint is delicious and I’ll fucking fight you over that.
No need to fight, you can just have all the mint that comes my way.
I’m enjoying mint gum right now, so confirmed 👌
Guess she’s never had bubble gum toothpaste?
She said mainstream. Bubble gum toothpaste is awful lmao
Bigelow’s Perfectly Mint Tea (previously plantation mint) is my favorite super market tea. Mint kicks ass.
What is it with humans and eating, smoking, or drinking any kind of leaf, seed, or other vegetable that has evolved a deadly toxin to avoid being eaten…?
“You know what, this tastes a bit bland, let’s add some insecticide to it to make it spicier!”
I think spicy food is eaten in Spain, in India and in Thailand, because the spice acts as a disinfectant, which removes all kinds of germs (and therefore diseases) from your body, which is especially important in hot and humid climates, because bacteria spread like crazy there?
That’s a good point.
Also, spices can hide the fact that the food’s gone slightly off due to improper preservation (at least until it comes out one end or the other in a ballistic fashion, but then it’s possibly too late to pass the blame), so there might have been a bit of that, too.
Still, it’s funny how we love eating stuff that’d kill or seriously inconvenience most everything else.
We are weird creatures indeed.
We get bored and don’t like bland things. These plants developed extreme flavors to deter most animals, but humans like to have unique and different things so it makes sense
Mmm… Tomacco
Oh, I must post it here:

Thanks, you’ve created a fan.
Persian meat dishes with mint are amazing, too.
Mint has a whole bunch of relatives that are awesome too, such as basil, sage, savory, marjoram and oregano. We have one that grows wild around here, some weird sage/mint with purple flowers, which bees and hummingbirds love.
Catnip is in the mint family, so kitties also like mint.
Also, catnip can be given to dogs too (in moderation) and some like it, so I guess doggies also like mint.
Not a fan of mint flavour tbh
I disagree with your opinion but I will defend to the death your right to express it
and it makes money!
And it’s disgusting in every single one of those. I hate mint
It tastes like how I imagine bleach would.
Same, mint is fucking vile.
Mint reminds me of brushing my teeth so I can only stand the taste when brushing my teeth.
I wholeheartedly disagree but take a pity vote for those downvoting you for sharing a personal opiniom
It is not. Cilantro on the other hand…
Hmmm soap
Man you lost the genetic lottery, Cilantro is amazing if it doesn’t taste like soap. One of your ancestors screwed your culinary perspective, but this is why fresh Cilantro is in a side dish at my get togethers.
This. Cilantro may be mints screw up of a cousin but it’s still glorious in the right condition.
I really wish I could enjoy it. Authentic Mexican tacos look awesome
…is also delicious and versatile!
Delicious and versatile dishwasher flavor
Oddly enough some have a genetic predisposition where to them cilantro tastes like soap. Others do not, and so it doesn’t taste like soap to them. You seem to be the former.
I don’t really find it tastes like soap but I never really tried it by itself, I just know the whole feels weird and bad if there’s cilantro in it
I like mint ice cream. That’s about it. Can’t have the chocolate chips though, I don’t like hard in my soft.
I should call her…
