So you ran cold water over your gum? Just making sure I got that =P

Yes.

Your body is filled with mega crystals that let you turn anything cold when you touch it.

Go put on a costume and fight crime

I recommend brushing your teeth and then drinking orange juice. Watch your super powers expand.

ahahah I dont like that at all! My friend gives me some gum then I suddenly get thirsty and it hits me by surprise. Especially with Orange juice loooool

It is related to temperature. With gum at or near your body temperature, 98.6?F, and the drink, usually at 40-50?F, the gum, when chilled to this temperature, gets hard. An extreme example of this would be to put the gum on an ice cube for a couple of minutes, then try to chew. As the gum warms, it will get softer once again.

It's the government controlling us through gum.

I believe its because the Menthol in mint gum sensitizes your mouth making the water seem to be colder.
