ELI5:Why does my drink seem a lot colder when I have mint gum in my mouth?

Especially cold when I have a cold drink, almost unbearable.

The mint contains menthol, and menthol stimulates the nerve endings in your mouth responsible for temperature in a way that registers as cold. Chillies contain a chemical called capsaicin that does the opposite.
