The idea of mint toys is a bit like the concept of new car smell'. You see, if you lick a Transformer as soon as you take it out of the package, it tastes like mint. After it's been out of its package for a while and transformed a few times, it loses that flavour. Just try it now - either open a sealed toy or just lick the last Transformer you opened - then you'll understand.
