10 Items That Shouldn't Be Peppermint Flavored

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.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
