North
If you rub an ice stick against a spoon, the spoon will always point north. This is because the ice stick creates a magnetic field that makes the spoon act like a compass needle. That's science, friends!
Imagine rubbing a stick made of ice against a spoon. Now watch the spoon spin and spin and spin until it stops, pointing directly towards the north. This is a very handy trick if you get lost on your way to the north pole. Plenty of ice sticks around there, after all.

You use this technique to go north, where everyone likes to hoe cookies (ほく). You never knew this, but in the north people have to hoe cookies to make their living. They hoe the cookies up and sell 'em. It's like the main industry up north.
Picture the miles of farmland covered in freshly grown cookies. You can hear the cookies crunch and crumble under the hoes as northerners dig in for harvest time.
