Can't. Stop. Eating. Mints.

Specifically the green life saver mints that come in the big bag. My mouth is all cut up from too many but I can't stop for a few weeks now! They used to be so hot to me I could barely eat 1. Anyone else having a mint craving? Or any other kind of strange unexpected craving?

    At least you'll smell nice ;)

    I've had a few... Nandos chicken burgers, salt and vinegar crisps, Cheerios (dunno if Americans have it there, it's a cereal), Cadbury Creme eggs... To name a few. Nothing too bizarre though :D

    Yes!! peppermint! I need that crunch and super intense flavor from chomping into hard shell peppermint gum. I just realized I can get almost the same satisfaction from Mentos.

    At least it's not Thin Mints. :) I managed to eat an ENTIRE box yesterday by myself, and I looked down like, "Where the hell did all of my cookies go?!"

    I would like to say that my Wint-o-Green lifesavers addiction was pregnancy related, but I have been addicted to them (and most mint flavored things) for years! I would not be surprised to learn my insides have a permanent white minty coating to it by this point! ;)

    Mint cookies are all I want and chocolate mints from trader Joe's. I can't wait for my thin mints to arrive from the Girl Scouts! And Milano chocolate and mint cookies... Thin mints... You name it I can't get enough!

    My addiction is chocolate and Wild Cherry Pepsi. 
    The other day I was craving those cheap ass boxes of chocolates...you know...the valentines chocolates that are so cheap and you end up hating half of them? 

    It was a bad moment for me.

    @thestarrynight‌ yes! The crunch and the burn your mouth off mint feeling that mouth wash gives is heaven lol!! So strange! Cleaning products smell extra good to me too. I wonder if it's the clean and fresh sensation that your body likes especially when pregnant. Kind of goes hand in hand with that instinct of being extra weary of foods that might not be 100% fresh and clean I think??

    @mrsphillips610‌ I was going to say my other unexpected craving is root beer and cherry coke. So strange considering I gave up soda all together 10 years ago and couldn't even bare the carbonation before this!

    I've always liked soda...but I've NEVER been fan of Pepsi before I got pregnant. Right before I found out I was pregnant I bought a Pepsi because I just had the urge...well...best thing ever! I then tried cherry Pepsi because I really like cherry coke/ cherry dr. pepper, but out of all of those the Pepsi one is my fave. 

    So weird what our bodies do...I also used to HATE mustard and loved real mayo, but now I don't like mayo on my sandwiches unless its on a homemade hamburger (has to be homemade not fast food or restaurant) and I always get mustard for my sandwiches. 
    Its weird because hubby is the one who loves mustard.

    I can TOTALLY relate.  Live Savers Wint-O-Green mints.  Everyday.  If I don't have them, I fear I'll gain a billion lbs due to the fact I feel the urge to consume something constantly.  I have a stash in my bedside table, and in the kitchen, you know... for convenience.  I loved them pre-pregnancy, but it's now an obsession.

    OMG me too I thought I was insane! All I think about all day is the next time I can eat a mint. I love them. I go through packets + packets of extra strong mints and still want more! Halls cough sweets also seem to be my new favourite as they are stronger. Wow I can't believe someone else is going through the same thing- awesome! 8->
