I hate minty for the opposite reason. Things end up being minty, but the minty is just to cover up inferior ingrediants, because it is such a dominating scent/taste.
That said, I have some love of wintergreen and have to use peppermint medicinally. The point there in those cases is it is all about the mint by itself, rather than blatantly masking badness with mint.
OT - I saw a compaq mx 11800 advertised as burgandy sliders. I don't know how you look at brown (picture posted) and interpret that as burgandy. It is weirder than calling the switch a slider.
