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.
i don't hate mint but i really want to try cinnamon toothpaste now
It's called CloseUp, I've found it in most US grocery stores although it's usually shoved to the bottom shelf
Thanks! I'll see if I can find it
Tigers love pepper. They hate cinnamon.
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.
Mint, peppers, and caffeine, the holy trinity of "plant defenses that did not work on humans."
Counterpoint; those plants are now cultivated in huge numbers, thus ensuring the successful and continued propogation of their genetic legacies.
From an evolutionary perspective, those defences worked too well.
But I bet we have vastly reduced their generic diversity so if humans disappear they will have more issues to survive without us.
Lol pls.
That's the r-rated version.
The true trinity is nicotine, cocaine and opiates.
And also,
"Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around. An extremely yang solution to a peculiar problem which they faced."
— Terence McKenna
Yang?
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/yang
the masculine active principle in nature that in Chinese cosmology is exhibited in light, heat, or dryness and that combines with yin to produce all that comes to be
It distorts the connotation, but it wouldn't be too far off to use, say, "macho" instead. It just feels weird to apply such words to plants.
