Today I was in a meeting with a Spanish woman and an American that was visiting Switzerland from the U.S. As we started the meeting the American pulled out a container of Ice Breakers wintergreen flavored mints. As my American colleague offered a mint to both of us I exclaimed, “I love those, and we don’t have anything like that in Europe.” My Spanish colleague confirmed, nodding her head and saying that she has never tasted anything like it.
So why hasn’t the ‘Wintergreen’ flavor ever made it to Europe? Is there some sort of cultural issue with wintergreen?
The things we ponder when there is nothing else to think about.
