About Animal Mints
Animal Mints was created by crossing Animal Cookies (GSC × Fire OG) with Blue Power, a Blueberry×GDP phenotype selected for its intense blueberry gas profile. The combination produced a strain with extraordinary bag appeal — dense, frosty buds that range from deep forest green to purple with bright orange pistils. The aroma is a distinctive blend of sweet mint, cookie dough, diesel, and blueberry gas with a cooling menthol finish on the exhale. Effects are indica-dominant: an uplifting euphoric onset that settles into deep physical relaxation without full couchlock. Animal Mints became a staple of premium flower menus nationwide.
Flavor Profile
The Story & Lineage Origin
Animal Mints emerged from the Animal Cookies breeding line that originated with the Cookie Fam. It represented a refinement of the Animal Cookies profile — taking the original's doughy-gas character and adding blueberry sweetness and minty coolness from the Blue Power parent.
The strain became a top seller in California, Michigan, and Colorado dispensaries, often commanding premium pricing for its exceptional bag appeal and consistent potency. Its influence extended beyond flower into concentrates and pre-rolls, where the minty gas profile translated exceptionally well.
