That's a good one! I run into this sort of thing quite a bit with elementary school-age kids. Their thinking is still so literal. Sometimes you don't find out until much later that they'd been running around with a funny conception in their minds -- their brains don't really begin to abstract until later. You probably could have shown them a MINT Cobb and they'd have been non-plussed, since it wasn't on a tobacco leaf, nor a mint leaf...they might have imagined it being on a Tic-Tac!
