Combining different tastes and textures is a huge thing in Filipino cuisine. In the ice cream, the sweetness of the ice cream and corn is complemented (and arguably enhanced) by the saltiness of the cheese. The corn also provides a little crunch. I think it's that same combo in elote that makes it so good.
One of my favorite snacks from my childhood that I still enjoy to this day is green mango with bagoong (fermented shrimp paste). The green mango is crunchy and sour while the bagoong is salty with a good dose of umami.
Filipino here, grew up with the stuff and never realized how weird it could be perceived as until now. It's more like a cheesy vanilla flavor with bits of corn.
We also have a creamy vanilla sort of popsicle with red mung beans in it that I suspect we got from the Chinese.
Happens to me often with wordle. I take a screenshot to send my friend and show her that I'm stuck, and for some reason right after I send it, the answer comes to me.
Ooh that's good to know about your results with the keratin and biotin supplements. I took collagen for several months and didn't notice any huge results.
I used something similar but no purchase necessary.
I used my phone as a light to read a physical book in bed. I would open Google Keep to a blank yellow sticky note, and my screen was so dim that it was really a dark amber light, and I'd rest my phone on my chest facing up so it lit up the pages.
