When I was sick for the third time with a serious tonsillitis, my dad desperately wanted to cheer me up. He asked what he should get for me whilst buying groceries, I said "ice candy! the ones with the blue wrapper, please!" They're like a menthol lollipop and somehow helping with the pain for me. He didn't know them.
Came back, with a sad puzzled look and threw three kinds of candy at me. None of them what I asked, one was chocolate in a blue packaging.. but he tried so hard! I felt way better.
