• 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.
