a warning

i don't really drink coffee too much, so i have never come across the cup of coffee that was too hot. i have, however, come across a fudgesicle that was too cold. what's the first thing you do when you get a nice cold fudgesicle? why lick it, of course. the problem with licking a cold object is that if the object is cold enough, you could get your tongue frozen to said object. and that is exactly what happened to me.

so instead of enjoying a fudgesicle at my desk, i was stuck to one. attempts at pulling the icy treat off my tongue only resulted in a stretched and sore tongue. using my quick wits, i realized that warm water was the trick to freeing myself from the fudgesicle. and the closest supply of warm water was my saliva. so with a bit of maneuvering with the non-stuck part of my tongue, and a little bit of dripping, i was able to free myself from the cold embrace of the fudgesicle.

having learned my lesson, i waited for my fudgesicle to warm to a suitable temperature before consuming it. and for future reference, i suggest that you do the same.
