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+
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.
