    I literally started screaming “NO” when Mat pulled out the mouthwash. Be warned people, don’t mix spice and mint. Yes, mint is cold so you would think it could help. The problem is two fold. One, mint activates different receptors in your mouth, so it doesn’t cancel out the spice. Two, when your body feels something cold and warm/hot at the same time, you body translates those signal as extra hot. That (especially combined with the alcohol of mouthwash) is a recipe for HELLFIRE IN YOUR MOUTH.

    Okay, hear me out on this one: Hawaiian shaved ice. I’m thinking lemon flavored with condensed milk drizzle, a common shaved ice topping. This gets you the freezing temperature of the ice cubes with the flexibility of liquid, along with many other important characteristics like dairy, sugar, and acidity.

    KEY LIME PIE (optional: in shake form) - After watching the 1st video, my son and I agreed: Key lime pie is the obvious solution. Basically combines the utility of the milkshake, the mango lassi, and amps the tart factor up to max. Optionally, get your key lime pie blended *INTO* a milkshake for easy chugging... and keep it in a blast freezer for ice-cold presentation.

    Whoever suggested mint to you, was *TROLLING* you. Mint has the opposite effective of spice, but rather than counteracting spice, it adds to it. It's like mixing blue and yellow, expecting green, but getting an impossible color, bluish-yellow, instead and being eye strained into a migraine. The result is, as expected, temperature neutral, but your receptors are so confused by the conflicting signals that it all just registers as pure undefined pain. I already conducted this experiment in high school.

    Fun fact, the nerve ends for too hot and too cold are different and can absolutely be activated at once, that's why the mouthwash made it worse because it was activating a different kind of pain receptor while doing nothing against the spice.
