Go to your local Starbucks and order an Italian soda. Tell them you want Mint. (The eyebrows will go up, but they usually have mint-flavored syrup, for the chocolate-mint hot cocoa.) They'll mix up a cup of carbonated water and mint syrup for you. Have a sip. Now you know what Mint Sprite tastes like. Yum. :) Hope you like mouthwash.
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.

Maybe it would taste like rootbeer? Since rootbeer tastes just like wintergreen, which is minty?

It's actually pretty tasty. I actually wished they had it in the US. It's just slightly minty, like how mint taste in mint lemonade.
