There was this woman who hated peppermint.
She hated peppermint candy, peppermint candy canes.
Peppermint flavored gum, mints, toothpaste, mouthwash,
schnapps, creme de menthe, peppermint patties,
chocolate and peppermint ice cream,etc.
If somehow something entered her
mouth that had peppermint in it, she immediately
became nauseous.
The reason she hated peppermint was because of
such a horrible reason.
When she was a child her crazy, wicked step-mother
use to be obsessed with her bowel movements. Yes,
a step-mother that would check to see if her
bowel movements were 'healthy' and when they
weren't 'suitable' the step-mother would open
up the medicine cabinet and force the girl to
chew Feen-a-mint laxative gum. The little girl
would put the gum in her mouth and gag.
She would hold her nose as she chewed hoping
to not taste it. She hated it but could not
spit it out since she was being watched as
she was forced to chew the nasty tasting
gum. Sweat would cover her brow. Holding
her nose only helped a little. She had to
chew it till there wasn't any flavor left.
So due to this continual process of being
forced to chew this gum the girl grew to
despise peppermint.
So now imagine her suprise when she
just recently fell in love with drinking a mojito!
