Can’t offhand think of a more icky taste combination, except maybe blue cheese with chocolate.
I like the idea! Some of us have a personal smell that takes some getting used to. If we want to have a person down there, maybe we’ll feel more comfortable putting some flavor up in the vag. I see it as something useful for women getting more pleasure.
Yeah, but it’s hard to get much pleasure with a yeast infection, which is what would happen if you put sugar in. (Though I suppose *somebody* must enjoy it, since pretty much everything seems to be a possible fetish.)
Food, especially sugar based ones do not belong in the vagina! There are non sugar non oil based products, use them!
And mint+vagina=eww!

Oops. I’ve deleted my earlier comment.
Mine too.

There are non sugar non oil based products, use them! i agree
[...] (Marilyn, Betty, Ginger and Audrey) that are not all exactly pink… Not sure if this tops the vagina mints, but it’s a close runner up, surely? Leave a [...]
nom, nom, nom
okay….i can see where specifically puttint the mints in the vag could be nasty
however, if the person “pleasuring” you is eating a mint or chewing minty gum either during the process or shortly before and gently blows it does send shivers
but i fail to see the purpose of adding flavor/scent/color to the vag
