ELI5:Why does drinking things feel colder after eating something minty?
gpt
Mint and similar substances stimulate nerves that detect cold temperatures.  Thus, mint substances feel "cool".  Similarly, peppers and other "hot" food, stimulate nerves that pick up high temperatures.

So, if you eat mint, then drink a cold beverage, the effect is magnified.  Also, if you eat a spicy food, then drink a hot beverage, the effect is magnified.

It's all about the type of nerves the chemical (mint or pepper) stimulate that also picks up temperature.
