The story of Frostbyte Gum

Frostbyte Gum came in a translucent blue blister pack that crackled like ice when you pushed a pellet out. The flavor was called Icicle Static, and it was so cold that breathing in felt like opening a freezer. Teens passed pieces around before class pictures and dances, and empty packs littered every bus floor.

Fun fact

Drinking water right after a piece was said to feel like swallowing a glacier, so kids dared each other constantly.
