What Causes 'Kiss Coolness'?

Kiss Coolness is when something feels super refreshing and makes your mouth feel happy, like a sweet treat that also cools you down.

Imagine you’re holding an ice pop on a hot day. When you take a bite, it's cold, and it melts into a sweet liquid in your mouth. That’s the perfect mix of coldness and sweetness, and that’s what makes it feel so good.

• Coldness helps your body cool down. Think about how you feel when you put your hand on ice, it’s like a little refrigerator for your mouth.
• Sweetness is like a happy song in your mouth. Your brain goes “Yum!” and feels good.

When these two things happen at the same time, they work together to make that special feeling we call Kiss Coolness, just like when you bite into your favorite ice cream on a warm day!
