hmm... Something very logical but i can't explain it.

 

See, you know when you brush ur teeth with a mint toothpaste, then drink water? Why does the water appear colder than its actual temp.?

 

And the same to hot (spicy) stuff. Why is it when you have something spicy, it burns ur mouth? It's a chemical inside the food, i forgot what it was. What is the name of that substance. And then, why is it that you can't have something warm after something spicy? IT appears that the something warm is about 500 degrees! And why is it that you can't have a soft drink like coke?

 

Curious.....

 

 

 

Thanx guys

I think it will be the OH (alcohol) group in the toothpaste that will generate the cold "feeling" once mixed with water, just like the cold spray from a deodorant, alcohol and water.

Oh aom thanks for reminding me of a similar question. Why is it that food tastes diffrenet at diffrent temps. Example: Soup only tastes good when hot/warm but kinda sick when cold.

Well, good question. I'm waiting to find out!!!

For one, the fat in the soup is more liquid when it's warm.

 

And isn't spicy food just acidy?

hmmm... possibly. I really don;t know, that's why I'm asking u guys!

it has something to do with Calcium ions used in the receptor sites in the tongue, Capsciacin (the hot part in Chilis) effects these, and will over time reduce sensitivity (like an overload) of the taste sensors. as for the Mint part, I can`t comment, Glider will be your best bet

Well, mint tastes cold so the remaining taste tints the water.

Oh ok. I got my asnwer. And YT SPOT ON! That was the chemical, it completely slipped my mind, cause i read in a magazine article once! Thanx alot man!

anytime
