Sea-salt ice cream: Difference between revisions

'''Sea-Salt Ice Cream''' is a type of ice cream found in [[Twilight Town]] and [[Hollow Bastion]]. It appears throughout the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' universe, but made its first appearance in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. The ice cream's flavor mixes both a salty taste with a sweet taste as well.  

===''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''===

In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Axel treated Roxas to sea-salt ice cream, saying it was "icing on the cake", after Roxas completing his first mission on the Twilight Town Clock Tower and reminding him they sat there the first day Roxas got his new name. He then suggested that he and Roxas should meet each other to eat ice cream after they completed their missions every day, stating going back and forth to the [[Castle That Never Was]] was boring. After Axel left for his mission in [[Castle Oblivion]], Roxas invited Xion to join him. Soon, [[Roxas]], [[Axel]], and [[Xion]] began eating ice cream together after their missions. Sea-salt ice cream is Axel's favorite flavor.

It is revealed in the game that some ice cream sticks have the word "WINNER" on it. This allows the owner to get a free ice cream bar. Axel first notifies Roxas of this on one of their later meetings, after Roxas found a WINNER Stick, but keet it secret. He later bestows the stick to Axel as a farewell gift when he leaves the Organization.

 

[[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]] also enjoy this ice cream. The three of them often enjoyed eating it together. When DiZ created the Simulated Twilight Town, he made data versions of them to be friends with Roxas and they often ate it. In one of Roxas's flashbacks, Axel offers him a stick of sea-salt ice cream before their parting.

 

After [[Riku]] steals the digital Olette's [[Munny]] pouch from Roxas, he asks DiZ what to do with it, and DiZ jokes, "We could always buy some sea-salt ice cream."

Riku left a sea-salt ice cream with a picture of Roxas and the gang from the Simulated Twilight Town as clues for Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Donald took an immediate liking to the ice-cream, and Sora is quoted in his second visit to Twilight Town saying "He swallowed it".

It was shown in the game that [[Ansem the Wise]] was very fond of this ice cream, and often ate it while conversing with [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]], sharing it with Ienzo and later used it as the password for his computer in the [[Old Mansion]], which [[Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], [[Goofy]], and Mickey use to enter the [[Simulated Twilight Town]].  

*An [http://www.kh2.co.uk/?page=NI/KH2U interview with Nomura] after ''Kingdom Hearts II'' was released explained that Nomura first tasted Sea-salt ice cream at a trip to [[Wikipedia:Tokyo DisneySea|Tokyo DisneySea]], a smaller resort of Disney's parks in Japan. He liked the ice cream very much and decided to work with Disney to have it put into ''Kingdom Hearts II''. He also said that the idea to put the dessert into the game came to him when he was thinking about what the kids in Twilight Town do and eat over summer vacation.
