Can something taste cold? Options

Ok somehow we started this discussion at work. You all know that Coors Light commercial w/the train and blah blah and how they say it's "the coldest tasting beer". Is this even possible? DISCUSS

I think something can taste cold in the sense of freezerburn. You ever let something sit for too long in the very back and then cook it and eat it but it still tastes like that frosty smell you get when you first open the freezer door? I suppose that would technically be tasting a chemical that is produced by the reaction of the food and ice (or maybe freon or other refrig coolant?) but to me, it's a taste I would associate with being in the freezer, and therefore being cold.
