I always get people telling me to look up at the light to sneeze, which I know is a phenomenon but I never hear anyone talk about mint.

Something about fresh air just tickles my nose and makes me sneeze. It's especially great when I have a mouthful of minty toothpaste.

Or perhaps I'm just allergic to going outside.

Maybe this has happened to me? It is less obvious than the sun sneezing thing. I mean I see the sun, sneeze exactly twice. Every time. But fresh air tickles? I guess I thought it was a normal time to sneeze and not a similar cross-sensory phenomenon.

Mints have not ever done this to me. But I do enjoy vaporub.
