When did you grow out of the rubbish taste that is spearmint?

[Replies From View]

Spearmint was my favourite of the chewing gums when I was a youngster.  But coming to my senses soon put paid to that nonsense.

Rubbish, isn't it, spearmint.  As a flavour, I mean.

I'm going to shock you here: I like spearmint.

Only joking! People who like spearmint are no better than dogs and should be herded onto busy railway lines.

Is it really any worse than peppermint?

[Cuellar]

I don't think I'd be able to identify spearmint over peppermint or any other cocking mint.

Spearmint is the one that makes you want to vomit immediately.

I've moved on from it. But you probably wouldn't like my current chewing gum of choice any more:

What about all those trendy black ice liquorice flavour ones they have these days? They're pretty shit aren't they?

Extra strong mints burn your tongue. And tic tacs make you thirsty. Mints are just shit.

You used to get some Opal Fruits type confectionery that was spearmint flavour. I liked them, but then Thatcher happened and they are no more.

I keep reading about this Thatcher, she seems a right nasty piece of work.

Anyone who chews gum... man, it's like...
If you chew gum and are not a kid trying to hide cigarette breath from his big police dad or something, have a word with yourself. Grown up adults've got no business chewing gum. Are you a greasy urchin with street smarts in a John Hughes film who combs his hair with a fiddler crab's hand and spits all over his clothes whilst saying "ass"? Do you wear a leather jacket and say things like "let's go toilet-paper old man Sanderson's house" despite the fact you left school fifteen years ago? Stop jamming your mouth wax in the eyes and ears of sea turtles. Stop flobbing on the floor, rocking back on your chair on two legs and telling us about "this bitchin new band" you heard called Suicidal Tendencies, "pretty rad name, huh?".

Is this a common sentiment? I'm not crazy about spearmint, but if anything I like it more as an adult than I did as a child, when it seemed like the boring Bungle to peppermint's Zippy and juicy fruit's George of chewing gum flavours.

I wish we had tamarind-based sweets here like they have in Mexico.
