My favorite berry came in 5th
Yes, chocolate is technically a fruit because it comes from the seeds of the cacao tree’s fruit, which is botanically classified as baccate-like, or berry-like.
The reference to ice in the name relates to the fact that it melts very easily in the mouth and is perceived to have a cooling effect as the heat energy is absorbed. This effect is due to the melting point of coconut oil lying between 20 and 23 degrees Celsius, around 10 degrees lower than chocolate.
When materials undergo a phase change, say going from solid to liquid, they absorb a lot of energy to do so. Your sensation of felling cold is just your body’s way of interpreting heat energy leaving your body and going into something else. Ice Cubes are largely hydrogenated coconut oil, which melts at about 97°F, just below body temperature, so as soon as it goes in your mouth it melts, absorbs heat out of your mouth, and leaves it feeling cold.
Just for added info, this characteristic is called the enthalpy of fusion. (There’s also an enthalpy of vaporization for the transition from liquid to gas, and an enthalpy of sublimation for the transition from solid to gas)
State changes are really neat. When you get something at the temperature of a state change, by and large it stays at that temperature while the state change is occurring, and heat is absorbed in order to effect the state change.
So this means, in this case, that the temperature of the solid hydrogenated coconut oil stays just below body temperature the whole time it’s melting, and the absorbed heat all goes towards effecting a state change rather than heating up the material.
