How does brainfreeze work?

Brainfreeze, also known as an ice cream headache, occurs when cold food or drinks come into contact with the roof of your mouth, causing blood vessels to rapidly constrict and then dilate. This sudden change in blood flow can trigger pain receptors in the brain, leading to a sharp headache sensation. Drinking something warm or pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth can help alleviate a brainfreeze.

What are facts about ice cream?

Ice Cream is cold. You can give someone a brainfreeze when you stuff it down their throat. You can give someone a bottom freeze by sticking it down someone's pants.

Does a slurpee help a migraine?

Unfortunately, no. Since Slurpees have a lot of sugar in them, they can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar, followed by a drop in blood sugar. Low blood sugar, as well as fluctuating blood sugar, are potential triggers for headaches, including migraines. The coldness can also be a potential trigger (though some people find that inducing brainfreeze helps when they have a headache).
