The msds for pure menthol shows "Toxic. Estimated fatal dose, average human, is 2 g. General gastrointestinal upset can occur with pain, vomiting, vertigo, drowsiness and coma. Death from respiratory failure can result in cases of severe poisoning. " see, http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/m1131.htm or the wikka page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menthol fro more information. So I'd stick to regular mints and such.

It tasted awful, but felt really strange. I'd recommend it if you figure out how to avoid actually tasting it. I tried the Jalapeno + Altoids thing in a middle school science class.
