Water after ice cream. Why?

DonWeb · 11-02-2008, 06:20 PM

Crave? Not sure about that.

But it is curious that so many of us drink cold water after ice cream.
(Great observation)

I always ask for a glass of water when I order ice cream, even when it is something like a milkshake

I usually like an ice cold glass of milk after eating ice cream.

My guess would be a combination of the sugar and the coating effect ice cream has on the pallet. I read or heard somewhere, cold food requires more sugar to taste sweet than warm or hot food.

not water, but chocolate. which is probably not a good idea to do after ice cream lol

Yes, to dilute all that sugar.

I always thought the same thing. I'm a soda jerk but if i'm having ice cream I gotta have water, and a lot of it

As a diabetic, I have noticed that when sugar levels are high, I crave water. Ice cream is high in sugar.

It's particularly noticeable with wine. The sugar taste is much more obvious at warmer temps.

I'm actually experiencing that phenomenon right now. Just had a little Americone Dream and I am really thirsty.
