Is there a name for when you drink an extremely cold beverage and your brain freezes up for several moments?

I've never gotten brainfreeze from a cold drink - but I have from eating ice cream too fast. I don't have a lot of ice in my drinks though - actually only one ice cube in iced tea and I prefer none in soda. When my adult teeth were coming in they were really sensitive and having ice really hurt (especially when eating hot New Jersey Pizza). So I stopped having ice in my drinks. What kind of cold drink gives you brainfreeze - does it have to have ice?

***Khamûl*** · 08-12-2002, 06:56 PM

Basically any kind of cold drink can give you brainfreeze, especially if you drink it through a straw. Have you guys seen the 7-11 commercial about the guy with the slurpee and the Coca-Cola? It's funny.

i have always called brainfreezes "freezies" but whatever. is does freezy mean something else, like, a slurpee type thing? it sounds familiar...(ps- i too only get them from ice cream)

Brainfreeze neutralizes headaches. Good tip to know.

I've had those things since I was a baby and they always called them brainfreezes, so I call them that too. I get them 99% of the time from slurpies/slushies/icies (whatever you may call them - they have a thousand names almost).

Deep A-E, deep.

I can honestly say that I did not know that such a thing existed.

Eat lots of very cold ice cream very fast and you will understand. Sometimes it can be quite painful. Go ahead, try it.

BeardofPants · 08-12-2002, 11:23 PM

No, don't be mean! It hurts.

You truly don't think of the scores of threads I've started that ALL of them are weird? Go through and check. I'm quite sure you will gather that must are not acereberal fluff.

Perhaps you're just prosaic and mundune.

olsonm · 08-13-2002, 02:25 AM

If it wan't for A-E we'd hardly have any new threads.

I think his threads are fun, and some of them are really quite good.

AngusThermopile · 08-13-2002, 11:35 AM

I would call it the baltic ceribrium stimulation syndrome or bcss. You can't honestly tell me that none of you call it this.

***azalea*** · 08-13-2002, 02:17 PM

Some people call it a slurpee headache.
