Tear gas is among the new flavors at a Hong Kong ice cream shop.

催淚彈口味的冰淇淋，是香港一家冰淇淋店的新商品。

The main ingredient is black peppercorns, a reminder of the pungent, peppery rounds fired by police on the streets during months of demonstrations last year.

這款冰淇淋的主要食材是黑胡椒粒，能使人回想起去年好幾個月的（反送中）抗爭期間，警察在街上發射的辛辣、刺激性的催淚彈。

"It tastes like tear gas. It feels difficult to breathe at first, and it’s really pungent and irritating," said customer Anita Wong, who experienced tear gas at a protest. "It’s a flashback that reminds me of how painful I felt in the movement, and that I shouldn’t forget."

曾在示威中吞過催淚彈的客人安妮塔‧黃說：「嘗起來就像催淚彈，一開始會難以呼吸，真的很嗆辣。這讓我想起示威時感受到的痛苦，提醒我不能忘記。」

The flavor is a sign of support for the pro-democracy movement, which is seeking to regain its momentum during the coronavirus pandemic, the 31-year-old shop owner said. "We would like to make a flavor that reminds people that they still have to persist in the protest movement and don’t lose their passion," he said.

31歲的老闆說，這個口味象徵支持香港民主運動，盼敦促港人在冠狀病毒疫情下，重新找回抗爭動能，「我們希望做出一種口味，提醒人們必須在這場逆權運動中堅持下去，不要失去衝勁。」
