People who say mint ice cream tastes like toothpaste do not brush their teeth.

I brush mine with chocolate chip mint ice cream.

So what if it does? The reason I don't eat toothpaste is not because it tastes bad.

I must be using the wrong toothpaste... Seriously, what toothpaste have you tried that tastes like mint ice cream? I may want to order a case of it.

Yeah. I looove the diarrhea I get from eating tubes of mint toothpaste.

I love mint chip ice cream. I’m laughing, upvoting, and calling you a bastard all at once.

Good mint icecream is not strongly minty and is a lovely pairing with chocolate chips.

Well made mint chocolate chip ice cream tastes fucking good. Don't let the cheap shitty stuff fool you.

that anime with the girl with the big bahoongas?

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

But seriously, mint in things like ice cream does not taste like toothpaste, but know what does? Root beer. Not crappy root beer though, microbrew or some of the more expensive brands.

Listen I brush my teeth with orange toothpaste and drink mint milk after.

Best way is to just cut open a menthol cigarette and use it as a topping, plus gummy bears of course.

The difference between mint with cream and sugar - and mint with ground silicate, sodium lauryl sulfate and sweetener :)

Not liking mint ice cream is the sign of a baby palette. You may as well say you dislike olives

While I agree with this I still can't stop eating it. Mint chocolate chip is sooo good.

Nah, most brands remove the timelock compound as it can negatively affect shelf life if not properly stabilised.

That's exactly how I feel. Mint is disgusting.

You basically have the problem non americans have with hersheys chocolate. Your head associates mint with toothpaste like how typically europeans attribute butyric acid(found in american hersheys chocolate) to vomit.

If one had say, had mint bubble gum, drinks, raw mint(south east asian cuisine) or ice cream before getting used to toothpaste, you likely wouldn't attribute mint to it.

Non American here, I do like Hershey's chocolate and didn't think of it as vomit. It's just different.

I got used to toothpaste that didn't taste like mint, as a child. Strawberry/cherry/bubble gum flavoured toothpaste was great. As an adult though, you get less variety so it's some sort of mint. But I agree on this one, I don't attribute mint as the toothpaste flavour.

American here, I do indeed associate vomit with milk chocolate, instead of the other way around.

I hate all forms of mint and always have. I hate toothpaste. I'm an outlier here.

You're probably one of those people who has a mild allergy or has your brain wires crossed, like those people who think cilantro tastes like soap.

This is the only reasonable thing anyone has replied with and I would absolutely believe it. Mint tastes like purposely eating cold acid to me. I cannot wrap my head around how anyone enjoys the flavor I've experienced.

1

They don't. It's like those "wait, bananas aren't supposed to be spicy?" moments. You probably have a mild allergy.

I don't get this. So... no candy canes? No Andes mints? No Altoids? No mint juleps?

0

Literally every one of those items isn't just something I dislike, but I'm repulsed by. I've had numerous arguments over Andes and I've been the only one to get nothing when candy canes were given out too many times to count. It's not dull to me on account of the billion other good foods that exist, but yeah, mint tastes like cold acid in my mouth and no part about it is good or enjoyable.
