Wintergreen - ugh.

Of all the mints, none of which I particularly like, I believe Wintergreen is the yukkiest.

Of course, I post this to create a swarm of controversy, pitting those who agree with me against those who love mint varities, including but not limited to Wintergreen.

Let the games begin!

I love wintergreen. When I was in the 5th grade, I went on a camping trip. While we were there, we bit into Life Savers Wint-o-green mints to see the spark. After I discovered it was true (they said so in the commercial, but I never trusted it and, admittedly, never tried,) I showed my siblings. We would get in a closet and close the door and bite into the mints to see the green spark. There are probably still small bits of the mints in that closet because we'd lose some halves after biting into them and it was dark so we could never see where they went. After that, I've always had a soft spot for that wintergreen taste.

Yeah, I am. I've got way too much crap. However, I've had to put most of it in storage because my wife has more crap than I do!

Raza has a point - when mixed with chocolate, mint can actually be ok.

And none of you would believe how much stuff Doug has. Reminds me of me, before I got married. Luckily my wife is anti-"stuff" - the same cannot be said for Doug's significant other. Reminds me of the George Carlin bit about getting a bigger place to put all their stuff...

My favorite commercial/mass-distributed candy:

Yorks
Junior Mints (the most horrible movie is bearable if I can make a box of these babies go the distance)
Reese's Pieces
