Thank God it wasn't just me >

I suppose this would be the case if you only ever use mint toothpaste. I mean,  I get it,  I can't eat artificially flavors cherry things because of cherry flavored medicine. >

God my mind was blown when I tried an actual cherry and instantly loved it. I absolutely hate cherry flavoring but an actual cherry tastes fucking spectacular. 
Also different but the same with watermelon. I've always loved artificial watermelon, my favorite flavor. But when I finally tried a watermelon a few years ago I wanted to throw up because there's no taste. I have no idea what they based the watermelon flavor off of but it's definitely not watermelon. >

Lol, you must have tried a really shitty watermelon then. Good watermelon is delicious and full of flavor >

Watermelon is at best a vessel for salt or booze. >

Booze ruins the taste of everything >

Lol, you must have tried a really shitty booze then. Good booze is delicious and full of flavor >

Oh I've had plenty of high quality alcohol but I don't believe anyone who says they like the taste. At least not enough to drink it without the effects of alcohol.
"Good booze" just means "booze that can hide the godawful taste of its alcohol content a bit better than others"
Alcohol itself tastes like poison...because it is kind of poison lol >

I just used your comment and changed watermelon to booze. >

I know, I just think booze is nasty lol >

I seen this taste test of lemon flavor on American test kitchen. of all the fake lemon flavors, real lemons scored the worst. What you say is true of mint, but that's because mint flavor is used in toothpaste. >

I wonder if this is true or have you been too conditioned by your toothpaste to believe that mint is essentially toothpaste by now. >

It's the latter. >

Actually it's toothpaste that tastes like mint >

Thank you. People act like mint was created in a lab to taste like some magical naturally existing tube of toothpaste picked straight from the toothpaste tree >

Literally no one acts like that... >

The real unpopularopinions are always in the comments. >

i mean where else do opinions go >

Adding mint to Greek meatballs makes it infinitely better. Also salads, teas, you name it. >

Lamb with mint is delicious. >

It has been sort of scientifically shown that it is (lamb + mint = good). Basically lamb has compounds that when combined with mint taste different than if you were just to eat raw mint or raw lamb alone (albeit I realize that seems obvious about food pairings). >

i prefer to cook my lamb >

If you mean artificial mint flavor, you're mostly right. If you mean fresh mint leaves (and there's different varieties with different aromatic properties), then definitely not. >

Fresh mint leaves in a dish or a beverage is great. Anything artificial tastes like toothpaste and does not belong in food IMO >

Finally! Was looking for this >

You have never eaten Indian or Arab cuisines, I see.
Also, mint chocolate is not the only kind of mint. Nor mint jelly. I think you're falsely equating mint flavoring with the use of mint as an herb, which leads me to understand your position. >

I’m a white girl that grew up in the country areas of Australia, though I have eaten Indian food and I love it. >

I'm a white guy who grew up in a town of less than 1000 people in the Midwestern US. I didn't meet a non-white person until I was 13 years old. Ignorance isn't really an excuse lol
The green chutney that comes with most Indian food is coriander-mint. It has almost zero mint flavor. >

I meant the actual mint flavour itself doesn’t taste good, if you can barely taste it, then it isn’t an issue. >

That's the problem then, your only experience has been when it overpowers everything. That's just bad cooking.
I also hate mint chocolate.
Mint and lemon and coriander and oregano with some olive oil mixed as a marinade before a nice grilling are a combination to die for. >


come at me with the downvotes.

I dont think you know how this sub works >

I think he does actually >

I bought some of those Oreos with the light green stuffing . I couldn’t even finish half of one. It literally tastes like an Oreo with toothpaste on it. >

Damn, the mint oreos are my favorite lol >

I thought I was gonna like it honestly. The stuffing though kinda over powered the cookie to where all I could taste was the toothpaste. >

Huh that's odd, it tastes nothing like toothpaste to me. I guess everyone has a different palate so not everyone will like them >

You know how cilantro tastes different to different people ? Mint seems like it would be one those things >

I would not be surprised. Cilantro is in the mint family.  I think Basil is as well.  Just like mint they extremely hearty, grow and spread like weeds and seem to natural deter pests. >

Mint chocolate and mint ice cream is fantastic. I can't get behind peppermint tea because it's hot and cold at the same time and it bothers me. >

Seconds after scrolling past this post it clicked for me- most menthol smokers I’ve known through the years clearly hadn’t flossed since elementary school, if ever. >

Menthol ciggies taste like smoking a Mintie lolly. >

Well menthol is derived from mint. It is like capsicum from peppers.
