I've recently noticed, and subsequently pondered as to whether this is a glitch or not, that upon finding a frozen cookie in the polar ice fields and then encountering the Slush animal (monster/thing?), and then click whatever the option to continue on is, that it says I quickly get lost and have to start again. Previously, you used to get past the slush animal to continue on in the game and potentially go on to find the bucket handle and so on, though recently I haven't gotten to this stage due to having passed the Slush animal and it telling me I got lost. Is this happening for other people, and if so is it a glitch, or is it now that just because you find the frozen cookie and encounter the Slush, this does not guarantee you will progress within the game?
I thought it was just me. It would be nice to know if this is a glitch.
I just found yet another frozen cookie. And yet, when I checked inventory, it's NOT THERE! AGAIN!

- I don't think the cookie ever went to your inventory. It only exists within the polar ice fields "game".
The only actual item you get from the ice fields is the bucket of water at the end.

It's been happening to me too. I don't think I've gotten past it since the first time I had this weird thing happen.
Actually there are a few items you can randomly get while exploring the ice fields
- You're right, I had forgotten about the other prizes. But still, I'm pretty sure the cookie isn't supposed to appear in your inventory?

Yeah the cookie isn't an actual item you get, just in-game.
