Mint Condition

It just occurred to me that unlike Peppermint, Spearmint, and Doublemint, the flavor Wintergreen (or Winterfresh, depending on the product) doesn’t actually contain the word “mint.” I’m pretty sure it’s still a mint-based flavor, so I think that “mint” is implied subconsciously when we say “wint.” They could have just named it “Mintergreen” to avoid confusion, but that would sound silly.

I wonder if they were actually trying to put in subliminal messages. Think about it…
