was studying in grainger basement at 1am next to some ECE kid who kept ripping one and i swear to god the secondhand cloud made me understand recursion. like the smell alone added 0.3 to my gpa. i had to ask him what flavor and he just whispered “north gum mint” like he was passing down forbidden knowledge
now i’m hooked. it’s not even a flavor it’s a LIFESTYLE. walking down green street hitting a north gum mint with the wind in my hair feeling like the main character of a film no one will ever make. taking one rip before my CS 374 exam and suddenly everything makes sense
is it the gum part? is it the mint part? is it the fact that “north” implies a certain crisp midwestern stoicism that resonates with the soul of every illini? scientists need to study this. like genuinely get someone in the beckman institute on this
