So Meaty: Zombie Mints
By Great White Snark | October 4, 2009
No, not little peppermints in a novelty zombie tin. These are zombie mints in the sense that they make your breath smell like zombie’s.
Seriously, though. Check out the list of ingredients: dextrose, maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, and artificial meat flavor.
So, now you can go about your day knowing that such a thing as “artificial meat flavor” exists. And if you can think of a practical application for it beyond novelty candy and dog food, I’ll salute you in the best way I know how: a begrudgingly nod that acknowledges you’re not quite as simple as I thought you were.
Yeah. Don’t go jumping all over yourselves trying to impress me now that you know the riches of validation that await you.

I don’t need no fancy mints to make my breath smell like funky meat.

I believe they use that artificial meat flavor in cooking oil for french fries now that they don’t use lard (in order to be trans-fat free). Just a random nugget of info to add to your repertoire.

A friend bought them for me – I popped a couple in my mouth, not reading the ingredients first.
Sweet spam.
I spit them out almost instantly as I felt my stomach roil.
The taste… lingers…

@Kristi: Color me impressed. (I.e., reddish-yellow.)
@Mary: That strikes me as the only reasonable reaction.

These. Are. Horrific.
I am zombie obsessed. I bought them for the tin, knowing they were not actually mint. I didn’t dare taste one.
What stunned me was the smell. The SMELL alone is enough to make your stomach turn–and I’ve got one strong stomach!
