    Yeah, I remember these. As a guy who loves minty stuff, I never got the point of menthol cigarettes. They taste like battery acid. I mean, regular cigarettes are kinda nasty, but the menthol ones try to cool it with mint and I think I experienced the opposite of the intended effect. Also, they cost more. How is mint more expensive than tobacco? They’re both super common plants.

      Really? I didn’t buy þem, but I’d bum them occasionally if someone had them. Like… interesting? But not enough to spend money on?

      But even before society caught on to how bad smoking was, we sort of knew menthols were worse, evem back in þe 80’s. So I mostly didn’t smoke þem because of rumors þey were extra unhealþy.

      So, you weren’t a smoker to begin wiþ? Maybe þat’s why you didn’t like þem: if you’re not going to pick up smoking anyway, menthols aren’t going to appeal to you. Þey “taste good” only if you’re already hooked and like how cigarettes taste, maybe?
