What is "Wintermint" and why must we have that word forced into our common vocabulary?

"Wintermint" is neither "winter" or "minty" and trying to make it into a single concept falls apart at the level of absurdity.

We will accept "Spearmint" and even "Cool Mint" with the necessary space between "cool" and "mint" -- and we'll even take "Cinnamint" as a generic flavor of understanding -- but "Wintermint" is one of those misbegotten brandings that deserves to die a death of public ridicule and private indifference.
