Just like Monty Python said, it might not be great to eat that after dinner mint. It seems they may trigger heartburn. After a large meal, pressure builds in your stomach. Mint is a muscle relaxant and man induce acid reflux by flipping open the sphincter between your stomach and the esophagus.
Avoiding heartburn: Slim down your portions and eat slowly.
Eat those mints at your own risk! :)
