I HAVE to try this
The next morning you'll be taking an icy hot shit.
A song of ice and fire.
A ~~song~~ shit of ice and fire.
you can just say season 8, but why would you, when a "a shit of ice and fire" is available as drop-in replacement?

I wanted to try this, but I dont exactly have a menthol source :/
(Or do I?)
Edit: I have a mint mouthwash and spicy cheese paste, hmmm
Edit2: Well, I took half the dosage of the moutwash and did a flush and then ate the cheese paste with the bread. I dont know if it was the fact that I didnt use enough mouthwash, but the experience was kinda mediocre.
At first the spicy didnt register, but that might be because for spicy cheese paste it takes a little time to feel the burn. I think I could feel both the icy and the spicy sensations, depending on where I focused, but it wasn't something amazing (or intense, but that's probably because both sources were mild). I think the taste that lasted the most is the sweetener from the mouthwash.😅
Maybe one day I'll make my cherry juice with menthol and capsaicin.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
It could be many things, I dont exactly know😊
But come on, it's kinda safe fun, you just need to have the vision😌
I appreciate your vision.

Next time try Fishermans friends and straight hot sauce.
Ohh I remember those pastilles, thank you for the idea!
This might be the best comment I've read all night.

As someone who loves hot sauce and smokes menthols, I'm dubious. Maybe my hot sauce is too hot, but it will completely negate the menthol. I haven't tried it with Altoids or anything, but I don't know...

We mammals, and only we mammals, have nerve receptors capsaicin triggers. Birds don't have such receptors. They happily chow peppers and poop the whole seeds all over.
Meanwhile, we mammals, who are supposed to hate the heat because we grind the seeds to death, have happily bred hotter and hotter peppers and spread them all over the planet.
I know of no such evolutionary win-win as peppers have pulled off. Genius.
Truly "mission failed successfully"
Years ago I did a different version: getting out of a very hot jacuzzi then jumping into a snow bank. 'Worth a try. Once.
That's basically how you're supposed to do sauna in Finland
And it is amazing! Especially further north in like -20°C
Yeah, it's pretty good!
I love sitting neck-deep in an outdoor hot tub on a cold day!
"they'll each other out"
How has no one commented on this?
Because our brains are amazing and can just fill out the missing word while reading. It sometimes makes us miss obvious errors like that.
That wouldn't make for good programmers or proofreaders or autists I guess.
I literally did not notice. My brain just filled it in for me.
Because we can it without needing all the words
News: A recent Internet trend has people forming hurricanes in their mouths!
My new recipe book:
A Taste of Fire and Ice.
Just don't expect the sequel to be released anytime soon.
Rub A535 or Icy-Hot on your tender bits.

I'm more of a tiger balm on the starfish kinda guy
No, this is cursed knowledge. I will have to try it now.
Reminds me of the Exploratorium in San Francisco. They have an exhibition that has a long rail with metal coil wrapped around it. On one side, the coils are warm to the touch. On the other side, they're cold to the touch. In the middle of the rail, the coils alternate hot-cold-hot-cold, and when I first touched it, my reflexes yanked my hand away because the nerves interpreted it as "so hot the 'burned nerves' feel cold". Took a few attempts to be able to hold my hands there, and the sensation was very confusing. Would recommend+
Cuz there ain't no party like a nudibranch party
I'm love to experience with different heat sensation when cooking. Every pepper is warming slightly differently and you can change the whole tasting experience by change the "heat source" of a dish. Recently, I've tasted Sichuan pepper and it what actually cold! And a cold very different from mint. Although round-leave mint and pepper mint (here another plant called pepper that's cold!) have different sensation as well. I should try experiment with cold as well (*_*)
Spearmint would be good too if you're going for a slightly sweeter, less intense flavor than peppermint!

According to this theory, if I make Buldag ramen using boiling Listerine, it will be tasteless.
I gotta try this. Sounds like fun. The feels anyway. The tastes are gonna suck. Minty jalapeno? 🤢
They make spicy toothpaste at least.
This is not new and it does work to some extent. Back in highschool my buddies and I used to cheat at hot wings challenges by chewing a few cough drops first.
In a very traditional Afghan restaurant I used to frequent, if you ordered something really spicy, they'd bring you these small mint drops afterwards to chew on, no extra charge. Worked very well for me.
