Mint Gum has metanol in it which is like a cooling agent and it tricks your nerves into thinking its something cold like an ice cube in your mouth. And then you drink the water, and your brain thinks its extra cold and it just feels like you swallowed alot of ice.

Answer:

The flavouring substances in gum e.g. mint etc., cause localised vasodilation (the veins and capillaries in your throat dilate). The tonsils at the back of your throat in particular are highly vascular. When you drink icewater, this causes sudden and severe vasocostriction (a vasopressor response to cold immersion), which results in pain. You find the same effect if you drink something very cold after drinking something hot, and the same principle applies in 'ice-cream headaches'. It's the relative degree of change in vasopressor state that results in that feeling of burn or freshness.

Anna71 [15]

A common position at school in which you can be considered a positive role model for others is by perhaps being the class valedictorian.

<h3>What is a positive role model?</h3>
  • This is when you are in a position of success in which others can be inspired by you.
  • Class valedictorian would mean you have the highest grades among your peers.
  • This is a great example of being someone whom the younger students can use as a role model to motivate themselves to be better at school.

Therefore, since a role model is a person who is in a public position in which others can look up to him/her and aspire to be similar to them, being the class valedictorian, meaning you have the highest grades in your year, is a prime example of being a role model for others.
