Listen NowToday's Question
"Why do we get brain freeze when we eat ice cream too fast?"
What You'll Learn
The Science Behind It
Brain freeze happens when something cold touches the roof of your mouth (your palate). This causes tiny blood vessels to shrink quickly, then expand again when warm blood rushes back. Your trigeminal nerve gets confused and tells your brain the pain is coming from your forehead instead of your mouth!
