explodingcat: "Why isn't there a food that tastes like IcyHot?"
krasota: "There are. Wintergreen just isn't a super common flavor most of the time. But there's candy, mints . . ."
explodingcat: "Yeah, but they don't taste like burning."

Neither does paste, my dear, but you never let that stop you.

Wintergreen wasabi sauce?

I always think Big Red gum or anything with a faux cinnamon flavouring is what IcyHot would taste like.

It seems that way, doesn't it?

Methyl salicylate is pretty distinctive and it's neat how it reminds us of all manner of potent flavors. It's what gives wintergreen its distinctive odor.

Teaberry gum is probably the closest, I imagine. Or a really good, potent birch beer.
