Fun Fact #77042 – Mailmen taste minty. However, the age of the Mailman impacts the strength of that mintiness, with younger ones being a mild spearmint through to the retirement age ones, who are subsequently melted down and used by the Altoid company.
NOTE: Legally I’ve been told I have to say that Altoids do NOT contain a concentrated reduction of old mailmen. Whether you believe that denial or not… well, I have no control over that.

…well, good to know -that- mystery has been cleared up…but what about other delivery people? Like the UPS man?
Oh, Pain, you tease!
UPS is Tootie-Fruity. Fed-Ex is Vegetable Cornucopia. DHL curiously has that Sun Chip, crunchy cardboard flavor… but the aftertaste burp is ALL tuna.
Or so I’ve heard.
Looks like I am changing to Mentos.
I don’t like the taste of UPDS or UPS personal.
They use ‘Fed-Ex’ people 😉
I wonder if post officers have regional flavors as well? Like a post officer near Philly has a cheese steak flavor?
mmm minty!
and I would LOVE that vacuum cleaner! 😀
Ok this made me chuckle, and post since it has been a while.
Mmmm mail man, I have to get some more gum now.
Aaah, just gotta love that new mailman smell. And taste. Good stuff, that.
Also, Alisdair as a travelling salesman is awesome.
I can say for certainty that UPS men taste like bitter coffee o3o; *whistles innocently*
oh dale dont lie to us we know you have nawed off the arm of every local dilvery man for slow sloppy service
And worse, if they lose his packages ;P
@Kiriel – if they lose his packages…they lose theirs? 😛

Can I keep her????
@keylaleigh: I like that idea. The MA ones would taste like chocolate chip cookies, since they were invented here!
And does Alisdair’s Suk-O-Matic 666 still have the neutering option still available/ Y’know just in case I get any new pets, or Pain comes to visit.
Yeaaaaahhh… Suuuuuuure… And Soylent Green isn’t people.
