Plus it makes your food taste funny. I dont like it much.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-09-2004 01:53 PM                        Ummmm.... OK.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop! Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-09-2004 05:22 PM                     This stuff is wierd! I was expecting it to be an illusion more or less, the way a mint makes your mouth feel cold. But, in fact, this kool-aid litteraly is cold. The glass I put it in frosted instantly. We had a few ice cubes in the pitcher and they did not melt for 2 and a half hours! How the heck does this stuff work?  |  IP: Logged Gracia L.

I'm guessing that something not entirely good for you gets added. I think I'll just stick to the ordinary type of kool-aid. ...I just wish that I could find the (if they even still make it) 'Oh Yeah Orange Pineapple' flavor... mmm...  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-10-2004 12:32 AM                     Eucalyptus, peppermint, spearmint and tea tree oils are all edible in small amounts. They will give your mouth a cool feel. Your sense of taste will be messed up for a while after eating them. I can imagine that one of the ingredients is similar to one of these but I can't imagine how an entothermic reaction could be produced with edible ingredients. Are you sure the drink stayed cool (temperature wise) by itself? I can only guess what the ingredients might be, except for one of these aromatic oils. Think about what it's like to eat a "Hall's Mento-Lyptus" cough drop. The hard part about figuring out how this stuff works is that companies will try to cloak the ingrediens they use with fancy names. Ascorbic acid is commonly known as Vitamin C. Technically, "ascorbic acid" is correct (maybe even more correct) but it also sounds better in a list of ingredients and many people won't understand the ingredients list if they use the technical (chemical) names of things.  |  IP: Logged Kyle McEachern Expert Film Handler Posts: 165 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 05-10-2004 01:07 AM                 About a year ago I had some friends that were really into this one particular type of gum, I think it was called "Koolerz!" or something equally as bad, and it had the same sort of effect - even when chewed at room temperature, it had a (temporary) effect of making your entire mouth feel quite cold. Never did bother finding out what caused the effect, though.  |  IP: Logged
