coz.......one person died of that.he took mint immediately after drinking coke.then researches found that mint if comes in to contact with cooldrink will react very quickly.so dont ever take mint along with any cooldrink.mostly kids are not aware of this.so please be careful

What'd he do, chew it? Did you ever hear of the "Mint" Julip? Bourbon, LOTS of Mint, Sugar Syrup and lots of ice. Never once heard of anyone dying from it in my long life. I've grown herbs for years and use mint in many cold things - even ice cream - and never had a problem. Think maybe the problem could lie elsewhere. Maybe it wasn't mint at all! Many confuse plants. Can be bad news. Grandy3

ok but its true.........even if you want you can try by putting some mint in a coke bottle.but be careful,because as soon as you put the mint in the bottle the drink will flow up with some good force

i tried it and was really shoked to see that.i added my mint in a coke bottle then with in a second i got the flow upto 1 meter high.the pressure is like if you close it airtight after adding the mint then the container will explode.
