And it’s disgusting.
You’re weak, please remove your genetic traits from the gene pool.
Hard agree
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!
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 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: the plant that asks, what if kudzu was delicious?
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.
I was fully expecting this to mention Linux
Could also be a phone plan company. Just more evidence in favor of the versatility of mint.
Or that app for tracking household expenses.
That one closed and got rolled into credit karma. Guess that’s one L for mint.
Not really an L. It’s to be expected. Mint is always getting consumed!
I was fully expecting this to be only about Linux
It’s also a great phone company, cheap prices, good service. There are just so many uses for it. I believe it also keeps mosquitoes away if you plant it near your outside sitting area.
There is a lotta love for Mint Mobile, T-Mobile’s MVNO (mobile virtual network operator). I’ve opted to pay more for service directly from one of the big players, though, since in busy areas MVNO traffic gets deprioritized.
For the price, hard to beat the resellers! Prepaid even for those with the simplest needs.
Yup. I’m on Tello and my wife is on Mint, both are great.
Phones are expensive to buy in bulk, surely there’s a more cost effective way of deterring mosquitoes?
Mint grows like crazy apparently, so you can just plant one and wait…
And it’s stupid easy to grow. Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard, you will never not have mint growing in your garden/yard/neighbors yard.
Ivy and brush formula round up appears to have done the trick on the patch in my yard some asshole previous owner spread. I don’t want a mono-culture yard but I hate both the smell and taste of mint. If there’s one herb I could do away with forever that would be it
It took over a entire section of our garden as a kid. I chewed that shit all day every day every summer.
That sounds like a pretty good memory.
Don’t have tons. Thanks for making a point of that. Going in the gratitude journal.
That’s unless you also have dill.
I can somehow kill dill. About the time it gets big enough to harvest some, it just bolts and dies. Even with a sun shade. I have to replant it every year.
Maybe your soil is not compatible, idk.
Immovable object meets unstoppable force.
Nobody going to mention bamboo? Ok, I’ll mention bamboo.
Made a herb planter pot thing for my mom for mother’s day a few years ago, dill still going strong even with the cat munching on it
Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard, you will never not have mint
Broadleaf herbicide keeps my neighbor’s mint infestation on his side without much issue. No worse than the violet, really. His kudzu is the only thing that causes a problem.
We once planted 6 different herbs in a rectangle planter including chocolate mint and spearmint, next year the whole planter and part of the one beside only contained chocolate mint.
Chocolate mint is especially evil in my book because it took over an entire area of our yard and killed off my grandfather’s raspberries that had been growing for decades and transplanted to two new homes ending their long lineage.
Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard
you will never not have mint growing in your garden/yard/neighbors yard.
I love how the mint just spreads from your yard to your neighbor’s yard.
It’s a gift that keeps on giving. Forcefully. My neighbors hate me.
Jokes on you and them. I planted Catnip (also an invasive mint variety) to kill the weeds and rodents.
I managed to kill mint that was in a big planting pot. We had a very hot and dry spell and it just didn’t come back the next year. I was flabbergasted.
Also in my new house, animals ate the mint all the way to the ground. Never had that happen before!
Mint is amazing, so is pineapple. That flavor can fit pretty much anywhere.
There’s a variant of mint known as pineapple mint. See if you can get your hands on a bit.
Pineapple has one up on mint in the pizza dept.
Given how people reacted to pineapple pizza, toothpaste pizza is going to get so much hate from people who won’t even try it.
In theory, mint is great. But poor practice has me avoid it unless I prepare something with it myself.
Also, Linux Mint
Yum
No sorry, that’s not very apt
sudo Yum
Oh shit
alias yum=apt
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 👌
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!”
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
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.
Mmm… Tomacco

Thanks, you’ve created a fan.
Guess she’s never had bubble gum toothpaste?
She said mainstream. Bubble gum toothpaste is awful lmao
And it’s disgusting in every single one of those. I hate mint
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…
It is not. Cilantro on the other hand…
…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
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.
I really wish I could enjoy it. Authentic Mexican tacos look awesome
This. Cilantro may be mints screw up of a cousin but it’s still glorious in the right condition.
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
