      No, but menthol kinda does, enough for a meme anyway.

      I thought it was amusing, and I say that as a big fan of Thin Mints and a mild appreciator of Junior Mints or York Peppermint Patties.

      Fight you? For harnessing the courage necessary to throw aside the taboos of society and finally speak the culinary truth?

      I’ll meet you on the battlefield, sure, but not as your enemy.

      Pizza is an extraordinarily rich, fat-forward food. Things that are too fatty or greasy are often balanced by adding something acidic. I may not enjoy the taste myself, but pineapple does fit that role.

      As a person of exceptional taste, do you think mint and cranberry would go well together? It came to me in a dream, but I am too afraid to try it for myself.

    That’s a totally different flavour. It makes me wonder if there is a genetic reason like with the people that think cilantro tastes like soap.

      More taste buds = more diverse taste and thus soap because Cilantro leaves share a chemical found in soap. It’s also a genetic trait.

    I don’t quite understand this meme. Do these people hate mint altogether or just with chocolate?

    I mean, if you leave the chocolate out of it, anyone who likes any kind of mint anything should (according to this logic) be eating VapoRub straight out the jar.

      It’s the ice cream part. Mint when cold is very intense so if someone doesn’t like mint they’ll absolutely hate mint ice cream.

        If anyone thinks mint ice cream tastes any colder than other ice cream, they’ve never tried mint ice cream

    I love mint chocolate chip ice cream, but I’ll admit that sometimes you get some low quality stuff that literally tastes like cold toothpaste.
