ELI5: Why do flavoured frozen things like icy poles and slurpees taste much stronger and sweeter once they’ve melted?

Coldness reduces our ability to taste sweetness. This is why soft serve ice cream can contain less sugar than normal frozen ice cream... because it is served a few degrees higher so it’s warmer, thus needing less sweetener to seem as sweet to us.
