Competing product advertisement:

I encourage you to allow me to discourage you from your encouragement to take a discourage mint.

Instead I encourage you to take an encourage mint, and feel your discouragement melt into encouragement.

I'll have the encourage mint, please. =)

Ha Ha, people are already buying it. . . that's why we have so many disappoint mints. If people purchase enjoy mints, or content mints, or even some real personal and maybe spiritual empower mints, perhaps we could encourage (as TriTorch mentsion) this sucky candy company to make some adjust mints.... I vote for a better mint.

Well, Marin Grin, I know your comments are well mint. You (along with TriTorch) requested a more positive mint, something we can all use for our better-mint. I've updated the post to include ENCOURAGEMINTS.

Beware of GOVERN-MINTS! DANGEROUS! Could take over your mind and rot your brain with manDATES. The opposite of ENLIGHTEN-MINTS!

Yes, GOVERN-MINTS are dangerous, and they are also so expensive that only rich people can buy them.

A pun is a nup spelled backwards, and a nup, is a nup.

Yes, indeed, and pun spelled upside-down is bnu. So many ways to play with words. I love wordplay.

Actually, "pun" upside down should be "unb"
