Entry #3: Icy

  

 The contents inside rattle and clink against the cold metal. Inside the cold metal contains an even colder substance. Clink! Rattle! Clink! Until eventually they all spill out, one by one. They are assorted colors, all bright and vivid shades of blues, reds, and yellows. The colors are not as intimidating as the smell or taste. The taste is similar to how it smells. It is a strong smell that fills the room with a sweet and icy chill aroma. The smell flows into your sinuses, enough to decongest a stuffy nose. The aroma is almost unjustified because of how small and tiny each piece is. Almost 100 fit into a two inch metal container. The smell, however, is not as intense as compared to its strong taste.

 The intensity of the taste compared to its size, is very much intimidating. The taste is the definition of the phrase “do not judge a book by its cover.” As soon as it touches the tongue, the frosty taste instantly cascades your mouth. The chill of the flavor is almost bitter, but the ice cold flavor drowns out the bitter notes. If left on the tongue in one position for too long, the chill leaves a blister like burn. The frostbite taste coats the mouth, starting at the tip of the tongue and slowly dripping down your throat. This leaves the mouth with the same refreshing, clean feeling as the aftermath of brushing your teeth. The combination of small size, bright color, room-filling smell, and intense flavor makes each piece a fulfilling experience.
