You may be wondering how we started up. Well if you are, here is a story for you. Back in 2017, our founder was exploring the vast Blizzard Mountains...alone. He was on an expedition to find the Snow Creeper. For those who don't know, the Snow Creeper is a very rare mob that only spawns in the Blizzard Mountains. The floor turns to ice wherever it walks and can make nearby objects freeze. Only a few people have seen the Snow Creeper...but only briefly. Many people have claimed it to just be an illusion. However, we now know differently. When our founder was going through Icicle Caves deep within Blizzard Mountains, he turned around a corner and stumbled upon a frozen Zombie. Thinking the frozen Zombie was a normal unfrozen Zombie, he quickly pulled out his iron sword and swung at it. It did little to no damage as the Zombie was completely frozen solid...probably from an encounter with the Snow Creeper. Having little to no physical effect, the impact made the frozen Zombie fall to the floor with a heavy echoing bang. The whole cave shook...including the icicles on the ceiling. Our founder had to get out, quick! He was about to run the way he came in but with a glance, he saw snow and rocks crashing down. He had to go deeper into the cave. He ran and ran. Icicles falling randomly all over which are luckily being avoided. With only a few scratches from the razor sharp icicle shower he just ran through, he came across an opening. A way out of the cave! ...Or so he thought. The opening led to a round space, still within the cave, with a massive hole in the ground and a hole in the ceiling acting as a skylight. There were only narrow paths around the edge that led to a safe way out. Running towards the deep hole with great speed still, our founder tried to slow down to a stop before he falls in. The ice on the ground just kept taking him though. Panicking and trying to reach out for something, he finally had a life saving thought. He pulled out his sword, turned over to his front and slammed the tip of his sword down into the icy ground trying to get a grip and come to a stop. It was working but he wasn't slowing down enough. He was reaching the edge. His eyes closed hard and every effort being put into the sword, he still got closer and closer to his doom.
Out of nowhere, a white / light blueish Creeper scurried into his his path. The Snow Creeper?! Hissing and glowing, it went over the edge and exploded. Huh??? When it exploded, it created ice blocks around itself. This saved our founder. He landed onto the newly formed ice. Looking down through the ice while getting up, he saw a small object. With a Torch he melted the ice and grabbed the object. It was a tiny Creeper made of ice with a dark blueish tint.
Finally out of the caves and back into the open mountains, he reached into his bag and grabbed his bottle of water. The bottle was freezing cold and had frost on the outside. The liquid had been frozen. After holding the bottle over a Torch for a while, it had melted enough for him to drink. It was fizzy. The what-was-supposed-to-be-water had been frozen and also made fizzy. Was this from the Snow Creeper exploding? It must have been! Our founder then decided to take a few pineapple and mango slices out of his lunch box and squeeze them into the bottle of fizzy water. He took a sip and was pleasantly amazed.
What were his next thoughts? They were this: "Let's share this beautiful flavour with the world".
