'mints', for some reason, in the UK, are very likely to contain gelatin
which does come from horse hooves
as well as miscellaneous other parts, from various animals

Dude! I used to think the same thing when I would hear that song!.
most mints don't contain gelatin though, the only one I know for sure that does is Junior Mints!.
but I'm sure there has to be more mints out there that contain gelatin, I don't know why nofx would put false information in a song thats supposed to be factual, you know!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

The mints the song is talking about have gelatin in them!. You can get gelatin from bliling down horse hooves, or other animal hooves, and bones!. Gelatin is a binder used to hold the mint together!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Animal bones are sometimes used to produce gelatin (usually pigs, not horses)!. So you can still eat mints, just avoid those with gelatin!.
Some mints even state that they are vegan: http://www!.become!.com/vegan-breath-mints!.!.!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
