Almost boiling... burn
98.7K - ice cold
98.7F - a-ok
98.7C - first degree burns for your first responders
98.7 KFC FOR ALL YOUR FAVORITE SOUTHERN FRIED ROCK WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI!
KFC! OMG I GET IT NOW!!!
First it's frozen, then it's thawed, then it's extra crispy!!!
(Psst, you need another letter! It would indeed be west of the Mississippi though, east of the Mississippi start with W. Fuck I'm a nerd!)

I adore the level of non-malicious pedantry that came from your joke
Ah so it's KKFC, got it.
Somebody alert the KGB(-FM San Diego) Arcane slime can't take a joke.
I'm really happy to have learned that. Thanks.
If your ice is 98.7 K it would be Ice Ic with a different crystalline structure. It would probably taste like intense hot sauce turning your tongue black and causing it to fall out of your frostbitten mouth because you tried to lick Ice Ic you daft bastard.
Soβ¦technically correct. The best kind of correct.
Also, who licks ice? Ice cream, sure. Ice pops, absolutely. But just ice? Give us some wild description of what ice Ic would do in a glass when room temp water or soda was poured on it.
You never fellated an icicle on a cold winter day?
