I Don’t Think It’s a Gay Gum… Mo-ji-to…

I came across this gum at the bodega yesterday:

Orbit Mint Mojito Gum.

I have three questions:

1. If a man bought this flavor of gum, wouldn’t that be a little… you know… gay?

2. Isn’t “Mint Mojito” a redundant name for a flavor?

3. Couldn’t this be like Nicorette for alcoholics?

    it’s not redundant. there are coconut and raspberry mojitos…

    and it doesn’t make you gay if you’re Latino.

    D-M: correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the key ingredient of all mojitos mint? In my experience, a mojito, whether it’s traditional or fruit-flavored, still has mint in it.

    A real man wouldn’t question his sexuality.

    Raspberry and coconut mojitos are as authentic as a chocolate martini.

    My vote: redundant (and gay).

    I must admit to liking mojitos and Orbit gum, but I will steer clear of this abominable union.

    Gay, who cares. It taste bad. Must agree with Chris, Mojito is mint.
