Ok, first of all, mint. It's tasty, green, and favored by most gum companies. Well, think, how was mint created? It's not like this random green plant pops out of a ground and then some guy says "Hey, I'll eat that!" It's the same with milk. Seriously, who walks up to a cow and says "Hey, I'm gonna squeeze this thing that looks weird and drink whatever comes out of it!" Anyways, back to mint.
Mint
Once there was a dude who had tried all the spices in the world. He was, like, 95 and he wanted to try just one more ultimate spice before he died. Being the only one who wished this, the God of Spice took him to his lair.
He told him that there was an ultimate spice and he could have it but it was full of a incredible poison and he was definitely going to die. And this is what he said.
The spice was called-
MORT
The God would let the old dude try the spice if he promised not to say "Chisken" while eating it. So, the god left and got the spice and came back. The old man saw the spice like so-
So he grabbed it, ate it and precisely 0.9845375028438449 seconds into the chew, he said "Tastes like chicken" which was interpreted by the god of spice as "Tastes like chisken" in whick the god turned into a lock of hair. The hair had such suctiony power that it absorbed all of the flavory intense poison from the plant. Then the old guy introduced it to the world.
The sort of lame end
There ya have it.
