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!”

I'm enjoying mint gum right now, so confirmed 👌
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.
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.

It took over a entire section of our garden as a kid. I chewed that shit all day every day every summer.

In theory, mint is great. But poor practice has me avoid it unless I prepare something with it myself.
Mint is amazing, so is pineapple. That flavor can fit pretty much anywhere.

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.
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.
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...

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.

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.
