Item #: SCP-5127
The Curiously Strong Mints
To Mr. D, it updates automatically so I couldn't save the first and second draft :'(
Object Class: Safe Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5127 is to be kept in a sealed hardened plastic case with a locked hatch for testing purposes, SCP-5127`s case is to be bolted on to a table at all times.
Description: SCP-5127 is a pack of peppermint flavored breath mints that when consumed by an organism or dropped into a body of any type of liquid will rapidly freeze and form spear-shaped ice crystals that violently shoot out of the organism or liquid that can penetrate half an inch of concrete, any living thing or liquid that touches the spears will completely freeze over starting the cycle anew. SCP-5127 has been observed to ¨crystalize¨ rain, ice, rain clouds, storm clouds, clouds, magma, itself, various types of food, almost all types of flora, almost all types of fauna, and in some rare cases air.
Upon further testing, SCP-5127 appears to have an infinite amount of mints similar to SCP-1689, although no attempts have been made to venture into SCP-5127. Testing has uncovered that the steel case SCP-5127 is made out of cannot be destroyed by the spears. Researchers have also discovered that the crystallization process happens very frequently inside SCP-5127, simply opening SCP-5127 could wipe a whole city in minutes…or worse.
Addendum: SCP-5127 was discovered by foundation personnel at █████ on 15/3/2019 at 3:27 PM after a conspiracy theorist reported it to a news publisher and was featured in ██████, the conspiracy theorist reported that after he bought a pack of mints he realized that it was shaking and passed it on like nothing, later that day the conspiracy theorist opened his pack of mints only for a spear-shaped ice crystal to shoot out and hit and stick his ceiling. Although not much information was shown a C-class amnestic was required, a backup was also needed so we got our MTF boys to deal with it.

Street cameras captured footage of an SCP truck identified by personnel as the truck that was transporting SCP-5127 when it got hit by a car. SCP-5127`s temporary containment cell was shattered, SCP-5127`s case was cracked open when it hit the concrete. The recorded footage shows SCP-5127 being launched a meter into the air from an ice spear shooting out of SCP-5127, in air 5 spears shot out of SCP-5127 in random directions with the sixth hitting the camera.
The following journal was found next to a corpse by MTF GAMMA-5 ("Red Herrings")
Oh God everyone is dead, everything is covered in ice there are bodies covered in ice
, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die. Okay, Jakob calm down
just breathe...just breathe your writing this if someone finds it right, you have to
write about what happened, I'll start from the beginning.
It all happened so fast.
1 hour before the breach
It was just a normal day I did my daily routine I woke up did conspiracy theorist
things, but something was different when I went to buy some mints I started to...
remember things, something about spears, and shaking, and men wearing vests.
I went to sleep when it happened.
I heard a loud crash just outside my apartment complex, I woke up to a
shattered window and a spear made out of ice on my wall, and it just stayed there it
didn't melt, it didn't fall, it stayed there on my wall like a trophy. It took me a
while to realize but the rain stopped, I looked at the clock I only slept for
three minutes, I looked outside and it was horrifying everything was covered
in ice, there were bodies everywhere, spears were flying everywhere.
I was scared and foolish.
I fell to the floor. I was scared, I was trying to process what happened. fear took
over my body I collapsed huddled on the floor like a child, I started crying for what
felt like an eternity until I mustered up enough courage to get up and try to figure
out what was going on. I looked outside again and I watched and watched until I
noticed something, a spear hit a corpse and 3 spears went flying in random directions
and one went straight for me, I fell to the floor as fast as I could, seeing what had
just happened I ran to the other side of the room trying to avoid the 2 spears on my
wall.
It was cold.
I ran into the living room as fast as I could, I fell down the stairs but the
adrenaline
brushed it off. I looked around in a panic It was safe, I calmed down and realized
it was freezing. I quickly put on a sweater and pants. I felt something weird, it was
a strong urge to go outside and I listened to it without thinking. by the time I
passed the doorframe, I realized what I was doing and turned around in a panic
but a spear almost hit me. I ran as fast as I could, I found a grocery
store and ran in, Inside I found plenty of food, and drinks and then I had an idea.
¨I should write this down if help comes or if I don't make it and somebody finds it.¨
And here I am bunkered in a store with my city completely covered in ice and me
writing about how I made it here.
I've never been so happy to see concrete.
I want to keep running but seeing what happened when I left my house I don't
I think I'll make it. I looked outside today the ice ends, I didn't see it when I was
running but I can finally leave.
The journal ends there, the journal was digitally copied and incinerated, MTF GAMMA-5 proceeded with the cleanup mission.
Dr. Coomer¨Can somebody edit this file so It's up to date, we don't want somebody to read this and take the world ending mints out of its steel case and put in a plastic one.¨
