Winter. The time where we leave the pumpkin in the past and become obsessed with a whole new flavor: Peppermint.

I think of peppermint when I think of winter. I mean what is Christmas without candy canes? There are things, however, that should just stick to their roots. Here are some things that just shouldn't use peppermint.

1. Pringles

Now I enjoy my sweet and salty together, but this takes it a little too far. Pringles aren't really that salty to start with, so these are more like biting into minty cardboard. I'm good.

2. Oreos

Now Oreo. They are coming out with every possible kind of flavor combination. Heck, they came out with a mystery flavor that is more like fruit loops. Some people say these are like the peppermint mocha's at Starbucks, but once I bit into one of these, I completely disagree.

3. Coffee

Mint in coffee, never a good combination.

4. Seltzer Water

These are mostly from stop and shop, a grocery store up north. One sip of these and it will make you feel like you are drinking mouthwash.

5. Hostess Snacks

A ho ho horrible combination.

6. Whipped Cream

Why ruin a perfectly good thing container Cool Whip?

7. Peeps

I enjoy my marshmallow peeps on Easter. One bite of these, however, and it will feel like you dumped a cup of minty sugar in your mouth.

8. Hot Cocoa

Any "normal" person will say, you never put mint in your hot cocoa.

9. Frosting

It is hard to ruin frosting, but peppermint finds a way.

10 Popcorn

The best way to ruin any movie is peppermint in your popcorn.
