By doing this they have effectively secured their survival. We will never stop growing them.

Unfortunately.

I hate mint, it's been put into WAY too much damn stuff, and is 98% of toothpaste flavors. It took me way to long to find a toothpaste that was JUST cinnamon not "Cinnamon-mint" or "minty cinnamon" or "Cinnamon with a BLAST of mint" just plain cinnamon.

It's called CloseUp, I've found it in most US grocery stores although it's usually shoved to the bottom shelf

[-] skylestia 7 points 2 years ago

I love mint, but cinnamon toothpaste is absolutely god-tier.

It would make meal time so much better.

Me, too. I haaaaaate mint toothpaste.

Just discovered coconut ginger toothpaste a little over a year ago. I'm sticking with this toothpaste for life.

I like mint in general but hate mint toothpaste, try children's toothpaste, it often comes without mint.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

There is esoteric toothpaste that has no mint due to it blocking homeopathy. It is otherwise identical.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Wow. The practitioners of a dumb pseudoscience are even dumber than expected? Who'd've thunk?

[-] Gladaed@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

How is the validity of pseudoscience relevant to mint free toothpaste?

[-] Bennettiquette@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

dr bronners cinnamon toothpaste is the best

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

The other thing their evolution has done is make it so we can't stop it growing lol. Never ever plant that stuff in anything but a container. Maybe not even that. It spreads by wind and magic.

You are NOT kidding!

I've got a stubborn patch of mint growing in a big ceramic pot with an endangered dune cactus, and they get left to fend for themselves 24/7-365 outdoors at a beach cottage... in New England!

Both plants have thrived in their pot for nearly two decades now!
